Thanks so much for this; it'll be a good starting point for a bibliography

This is an amazing list. I'll copying it for future use (hope you don't mind!) I think more people should be aware of how many fantastic titles there are within this genre.
BTW, I LOVE Michael Cart. I haven't read How Beautiful... yet, but his other essay collections are brilliant.
