Savonarola: A Biography in Dramatic Episodes
William Van Wyck
- This kaleidoscope book contains a biography of Savonarola, a history of the social psychology of his time. As Savonarola is officially and rightly the hero of this book, the protean Florence is inevitably its heroine, a radiantly and gorgeously dirty heroine, a great human, earthy thing, of plodding and habit, of articulate transcendent art and of inarticulate grief; of heavy work and a little coarse loud play; of chained aspiration, and of thwarted festering lust. With vast elegy, William van Wyck has painted the fine frenzy of a great pure demon’s life.
