City of the Soul critically examines how an international cast of visitors fashioned Romersquo;s image; visual and literary; in the century between 1770 and 1870mdash;from the era of the Grand Tour to the onset of mass tourism. The Eternal City emerges not only as an intensely physical place but also as a romantic idea onto which artists and writers projected their own imaginations and longings.The book will appeal to a wide audience of readers interested in the history of art; architecture; and photography; the Romantic poets; and other writers from Byron to Henry James. It will also attract the interest of historians of urbanism; landscape; and Italy. Nonspecialists and armchair travelers will enjoy the diverse literary and artistic responses to Rome.
