Book Description:

How does a city become an icon? In this engaging and novel book, John Pemble links Venice's transfiguration over the last two hundred years from the shabby relic of a despised tyranny to a great modern cultural symbol to social and intellectual changes in Europe and North America. Analyzing the appeal of the city to novelists, historians, and apostles of "culture," Pemble demonstrates how changing perceptions of Venice reveal much about the development of modern Western sensibility.More Description
