Industry Reviews
"There are two reasons for regarding Diderot's art criticism as important. It has come, especially recently, to enjoy a very high reputation among later art critics and historians; but further it contains some of his most original and amazing writing, rivaling 'le Neveu de Rameau' and 'Le Reve d'Alembert, and indeed having a close connection with them. it was time, therefore--more than time--for it to be offered in English translation, and it is fair to say that the job could hardly have been done better than in the present Yale edition....John Goodman is an absolutely first-class translator and his notes...are nicely judged.
Times Literary Supplement - P.N. Furbank (11/10/1995)
"It is impossible to read the two volumes under review without being overcome by how much they have to offer us now. If we look for one word that sums up what is exemplary about Diderot's criticism, it is, perhaps paradoxically, its naturalness."
New York Times Book Review - Richard Wolheim (12/07/1996)
