Renaissance Quarterly 75.2, 2022
I have several impressions from the ambitious content and large scope of this book. One is that in one hundred years the Baroque has become an asset for European, Latin American, and Asian traditions beyond Iberian literature and art. The second is that this handbook of the Baroque à la française complements many impressive studies, touching on topics such as Baroque and German studies, Baroque and Romantic liter- ature, Baroque and neo-rhetoric, neo-Baroque, and poetry, theater, and prose from Iberia and Latin America. Third is that any aspect of inquiry can be associated with the epistemologically enlarged concept of the Baroque. Fourth, the bibliography accu- mulated in the volume is impressive and overwhelming. For all of these reasons, the handbook is a necessary reference in the library of any scholar in fields related to the seventeenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.
Architecture and Music in the Baroque Period
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012
The disciplines of architecture and music interact with each other throughout history. Works of architecture and music are influenced by the semantic and historic features of the period lived in. Composers and architects create their works taking advantage of the stylistic or conceptual data. In both of these disciplines ideas result in concrete products by means of different tools. Baroque era covers the period from 1580 to 1750. In contrast to the balanced and rational attitude of the Renaissance, during Baroque period dynamic, glitzy and dramatic elements have been used. Features of this period are evident in architecture and music as well as other branches of art. This research comprises the examination of the effects of Baroque features on musical and architectural pieces. The study addresses with examples the architectural highlights of the Baroque era in Italy, and the art of J.S. Bach's fugues.

The Baroque in Architectural Culture, 1880-1980 is aimed at exploring two projects, "the intellectual history of modern architecture and the history of architectural historiography." In doing so, the book "defines a role for the baroque in the history of architectural historiography and in the history of modern architectural culture." The historical understanding of baroque as a phenomenon of the sixteenth and seventeenth century is acknowledged in the book, but the central focus is on how the baroque has been created in our more recent past. Or, more accurately, its focus is to unpack how particular politics of our recent past have shaped how the baroque is understood from the 1880s to the 1980s. The book draws our attention to which stories of our recent past have flourished, and which have fallen by the wayside. Thus the book asks the reader to consider how the baroque has been shaped by privileging a particular understanding, author, text, and national location.
