He focuses on key British and American writers, including Byron, Ruskin, Pound and Eliot.

These works by Sister Bartolomea Riccoboni offer an intimate portrait of the women who inhabited the Venetian convent of Corpus Domini, where they shared a religious life bounded physically by the convent wall and organized temporally by the rhythms of work and worship. At the same time, they show how this cloistered community vibrated with news of the great ecclesiastical events of the day, such as the Great Western Schism and the Council of Constance. While the chronicle recounts the history of the nuns' collective life, the necrology provides highly individualized biographies of nearly fifty women who died in the convent between 1395 and 1436. We follow the fascinating stories that led these women, from adolescent girls to elderly widows, to join the convent; and we learn of their cultural backgrounds and intellectual accomplishments, their ascetic practices and mystical visions, their charity and devotion to each other and their fortitude in the face of illness and death. The personal and social meaning of religious devotion comes alive in these texts, the first of their kind to be translated into English.

"As the sixteenth century opened, members of the patriciate were increasingly withdrawing from trade, desiring to be seen as "gentlemen in fact" as well as "gentlemen in name." The author considers why this was so and explores such wide-ranging themes as attitudes toward wealth and display, the articulation of family identity, the interplay between the public and the private, and the emergence of characteristically Venetian decorative practices and styles of art and architecture. Brown focuses new light on the visual culture of Venetian women - how they lived within, furnished, and decorated their homes; what spaces were allotted to them; what their roles and domestic tasks were; how they dressed; how they raised their children; and how they entertained. Bringing together both high arts and low, the book examines all aspects of Renaissance material culture."--BOOK JACKET.

This edition of Venetian Life, William Dean Howells' classic account of the beautiful Italian city famous for its majestic architecture and canals, is published with illustrations of the locations described. Howells' account tells of Venice as it was during the mid-19th century. Since that time, the city has made painstaking efforts to preserve its ancient buildings and canals; as such, many of Howells' observations remain current today. Those that aren't however constitute eye-opening accounts of how Venice was; the past traditions and customs of its people when it came to matters of trade, marriage, social events and conduct. Many of the venues Howells describes today fit the description of 'hidden gems'; small but beautiful churches which remain open yet are secluded from the bustle of the tourism hot spots. His profiles of Venice as both a summer and winter holiday destination give fine insight into a spirit of hospitality which many present-day Venetians strive to preserve. His explanations of the principle destinations, such as the Venetian opera house (Teatro La Fenice) and St. Mark's Square are eloquent and detailed, surpassing many modern travel guides with their intellectually informed and detailed tone. Howell also profiles the Venetian peoples themselves, describing their traits, behaviors and customs with affection and respect. Venetian Life is thus a valuable text for travelers soon to journey to Venice who desire a historical perspective on the beautiful city from a man who spent his life captivated by it. Should you be a scholar of art or architecture looking for an informed overview of Venice's myriad accomplishments in these fields, Howells abilities as an author will not disappoint as an introduction.
