Leonardo the Florentine

Rachel Annand Taylor (1876-1960) was a Scottish poet, biographer and literary critic. According to Gilbert Murray's foreword, Leonardo the Florentine "will offend many readers and bewilder more; that it will be strange and morbid, and at times startling . . . but that such qualities will almost be forgotten, for good or ill in an exotic and riotous luxury of imagination and phrasing."
