Venice and the Cultural Imagination

'This Strange Dream upon the Water'

Herausgeber: O'Neill, Michael; Wootton, Sarah; Sandy, Mark

In the era of the Grand Tour, Venice was the cultural jewel in the crown of Europe and the epitome of decadence. This edited collection of eleven essays draws on a range of disciplines and approaches to ask how Venice's appeal has affected Western culture since 1800.
