Book excerpt: Half a millennium of English and American fantasies of Venice: this collection of essays by leading critics in the field explores the continued and continuing fascination of travellers, writers, artists, theatre workers and film makers with the amphibious and ambiguous city in the lagoon. There is hardly another place in Europe that has become so much of a palimpsest, inscribed with the fantasies, the dreams and nightmares of generations of foreigners, and this turns Venetian Views, Venetian Blinds into a particularly pertinent case study of the ways cultural difference within Europe is experienced, enacted and constructed. The essays range across five centuries - from the Renaissance to our postmodern present, from Shakespeare and his contemporary Coryate to recent novels, detective fiction and films - and, in contrast to previous studies focussing on the Grand Tour, they emphasise more recent developments and how they continue or disrupt traditional ways of perceiving - or being blind to! - Venice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venice is one of the most beloved cities in the world. The second most popular city in Italy, its romantic vistas have begged artists for centuries to capture its rich topography with paint and brush. In the eighteenth century, a group of artists answered that call with glorious results. Artists such as Canaletto, Luca Carlevaris, and Francesco Guardi, painted and sketched views of Venice which still delight the modern day viewer. V"enetian Views" is the first comprehensive consideration of this enchanting chapter of Venetian art. This handsome volume, which includes over 200 color illustrations, includes not only the most well-known practitioners of this art form, but also those less well-known but equally accomplished, including Michele Marieschi, Giacomo Guardi, Bernardo Belloto, and Antonio Visentini. For the Italian art aficionado, this a required addition to any library. And for those uninitiated into the spectacular scenes these artists produced, "Venetian Views" is a gorgeous introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare and Venice is the first book length study to describe and chronicle the mythology of Venice that was formulated in the Middle Ages and has persisted in fiction and film to the present day. Graham Holderness focuses specifically on how that mythology was employed by Shakespeare to explore themes of conversion, change, and metamorphosis. Identifying and outlining the materials having to do with Venice which might have been available to Shakespeare, Holderness provides a full historical account of past and present Venetian myths and of the city's relationship with both Judaism and Islam. Holderness also provides detailed readings of both The Merchant of Venice and of Othello against these mythical and historical dimensions, and concludes with discussion of Venice's relevance to both the modern world and to the past.
