Allison Lee Palmer isan Associate Professor of Renaissance and Baroque Art History at the University of Oklahoma. Her research focuses on Italian art and architecture from the late Middle Ages onward.

Palmer (Univ. of Oklahoma) intends this dictionary to provide important information on neoclassical art, which is situated between the waning of rococo and the development of Romanticism, from the 1750s to the 1830s across Europe and the US. The first edition was published a decade ago, and this revised and updated second edition is improved with more entries, artists, works of art, and an expanded bibliography. As series editor Jon Woronoff writes in the foreword, the dictionary has a chronology, introduction, and "more than 300 cross-referenced entries" on the historical context of the "leading artists, sculptors, and architects of the period" with reference to major works. The bibliography is divided into categories devoted to general sources; neoclassical aesthetics; art movements, styles, and related terminology; art media; individual countries and regions; and individual artists. The dictionary is a suitable starting point for research on neoclassical art and architecture. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals; general readers.
