The Venice Myth cover

Venice holds a unique place in literary and cultural history. Barnes looks at the themes of war, occupation, resistance and fascism to see how the political background has affected the literary works that have come out of this great city. He focuses on key British and American writers, including Byron, Ruskin, Pound and Eliot.

'carries plenty of interest ... Barnes is right to read a city that lives on in myth and reality.' Times Higher Education
