"...Kivy covers such a vast range that many questions are likely to arise in any reader's mind....But the real problem with it concerns its intended readership. On the one hand, it is unclear what non-philosophers will make of the potted histories of aesthetic thought about genius, or whether they will have the patience to work through them....On the other hand, philosophers of art...are likely to skim through the expositions of aesthetic thought....Kivy has written an interesting book, which offers something to everyone, but no one reader is like to find all its aspects of equal appeal."Kivy, Peter is the author of 'Possessor and the Possessed Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, and the Idea of Musical Genius' with ISBN 9780300087581 and ISBN 0300087586.
