In these essays on travels in Italy written from 1872 to 1909, Henry James explores art & religion, political shifts & cultural revolutions, & the nature of travel itself. James`s enthusiastic appreciation of the unparalleled aesthetic allure of Venice, the vitality of Rome, & the noisy, sensuous appeal of Naples is everywhere marked by pervasive regret for the disappearance of the past & by ambivalence concerning the transformation of nineteenth-century Europe. John Auchard`s lively introduction & extensive notes illuminate the surprising differences between the historical, political, & artistic Italy of James`s travels & the metaphoric Italy that became the setting of some of his best-known works of fiction. Moreover, Auchard`s notes give the book a double function — the literary masterpiece is retained but it acquires a practical function for the modern traveler. This edition

Includes:: an appendix of James`s book reviews on Italian travel-writing.

Henry James was a renowned observer of European culture, both in his fiction & in his life. In particular, he loved Italy, visiting it 14 times & setting several of his novels in the country. Between 1873 & 1909 he also wrote numerous essays & travelogues that were ultimately collected into one volume & published as Italian Hours. James is famous for his fine perception & baroque prose, & both are found in abundance in Italian Hours. As one would expect, he is a wonderful cultural critic, providing passionate & discerning reviews of the highlights of Italy`s art & architecture. He also presents a surprisingly familiar view of the changes that time & tourism were bringing to modern Italy. For all of his acute insights, Italian Hours is, above all, an affair of the heart, & will resonate with anyone who shares his love of the country. ...

When Abraham Lincoln appointed William Dean Howells Consul to Venice, the young writer embarked on a journey that would leave an indelible impression on his life & work. Howells lived in Italy for four years, from 1861, during the pivotal & tumultuous period of Italian reunification. Italian Journeys, Howell`s engrossing memoir of this time, describes his adventures across the country
- from Genoa, a hotbed of nationalistic fervour & the city from which Garibaldi had led the Expedition of the Thousand only a year before; to the cultural & political powerhouse of Naples, which had only just become part of the Kingdom of Italy & from there to Rome, focus for the hopes of a fractured country. Travelling by land & sea, Howells was inspired at every turn
- as much by the fevered events of the time as by the cultural & historical wealth of the country
- & his beautifully-rendered portrait has become a classic of travel literature, essential for all those who, like him, have loved Italy.
