A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Released to coincide with the publication of the paperback Rule of Four, this is the definitive guide to this bestselling novel. In this book Professor Godwin investigates each aspect of the history of Hypnerotomachia Poliphili and its use in The Rule of Four, including an explanation of what it is, who wrote the Hypnerotomachia, what it means, people and places in the novel and a glossary of names and terms. Lavishly illustrated, with a fold-out colour map, this is an indispensable guide to Caldwell and Thomason's bestselling novels.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Joscelyn Godwin was a scholar of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University. Since 1971 he had taught at Colgate University where he is Professor of Music.

In 1999 Godwin published the first complete English translation of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, which was called ‘a masterpiece of clarity and scholarship’ by the Daily Telegraph.
