If one wanted to seriously analyze Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," which texts and methodology could one rely on? Thank you

Pierre Boulez, «Stravinskzj demeure», in Musique Russe, I, ed. P. Souvtchinsky, PUF, Paris 1953, pp. 151-224; Italian trans. «Stravinskij rimane», in Id., Note di apprendistato, ed. P. Thevénin, Einaudi, Torino 1968, pp. 73-133.
Analysis of the rhythmic dimension.

Excellent proposals have arrived; in my opinion, it is interesting to analyze a masterpiece like "Le sacre" under different methodologies and points of view; I also suggest taking a deep look at the analysis made by the good Olivier Messiaen. Unlike that of Boulez indicated by RedScharlach, which is very "meditative," Messiaen's, which nonetheless has its roots in Boulez's, is more of a sort of roadmap, somewhat like a photograph of lessons specifically on the analysis of the masterpiece. The references to Debussy are interesting.

...I forgot, despite the title... in Italian:
Taruskin, Richard - Le Sacre Du Printemps

It should be noted—for the record—that Boulez's analysis of "rhythmic characters" derives directly from Messiaen, of whom he was a student.

I thank you very much, I am also very satisfied with the speed of the responses ... my problem is languages, but I noticed that much in Italian.
Thank you again
