br. "Se questo libro è, oltre che una biografia critica densa di illuminazioni, un vero e proprio racconto, il 'romanzo' della vita della Mansfield, lo si deve a un dono raro, che Citati - sono parole di Mario Praz - possiede al pari della scrittrice: '... egli aspira, assorbe il contenuto, l'essenza di un personaggio, lo condensa, l'amplifica, e lo ripresenta con un effetto sonoro che fa pensare al 'Bolero' di Ravel: ora è Goethe, ora è Cosroe, e ora la Mansfield. Shelley scrisse 'La sensitiva' con sfoggio di spettacoli del giardino nelle varie stagioni che accompagna l'esistenza della dama eletta. Citati ha circonfuso la sua vita della Mansfield con le esalazioni di un incensiere carico di tutti i profumi della poesia'".
