1. I found this book extremely helpful for devotionals - both private and in a group. The authors have edited together some of the classics in poetry and prose (i.e. Dylan Thomas, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne, etc.) and have categorized them for liturgical occasions (i.e. baptism, confirmation, eucharist, etc.) as well as more general topics (i.e. nature, art, people, etc.) While some of the excerpts and poems are a bit long for a traditional worship service, if they are woven in as integral elements of worship or devotion - they are quite meaningful. Prior to each poem or passage, there is a description of the context of the author as well as the text. This adds great insight to the meaning and could add other dimensions to its usage. I strongly recommend it for a more wholistic worship or devotional experience.

1 comments about Bernini and the Idealization of Death: The Blessed Ludovica Albertoni and the Altieri Chapel.

1. As the only monograph-length study of Bernini's statue of Beata Ludovica Albertoni, this book fills an important gap in Bernini art historiography. It has for this reason also attracted a certain amount of critical attention. While valuable in all kinds of ways (it reproduces sections of several primary sources dealing with the Beata, her life and the attempt to have her canonised), this is a deeply flawed book that suffers because of its reluctance from a unified vision of the statue's symbolism; Perlove reads Bernini's conception as multivalent in a way that most commentators on the 'bel composto' generally do not, and the result is an unsynthesised mish-mash of different points of view. Readers wanting something more coherent is terms of a reading are better off with Careri's 'Bernini: flights of love, the art of devotion'. The photography in this book is of a shocking quality. Most tourists to this sculpture take better pictures of this sculpture than are in this book.
