Rome was a building site for much of its history, a city
continually reshaped and reconstituted in line with political and
cultural change. In later times, the conjunction of ruins and
rebuilding lent the cityscape a particularly fascinating character,
much exploited by artists and writers. This layering and changing
of vistas also finds expression in the literary tradition, from
classical times right up to the twenty-first-century. This
collection of essays offers glimpses, sideways glances and
unexpected angles that open up Rome in its widest possible sense,
and explores how the visible components of Rome - the hills, the
Tiber, the temples, the Forums, the Colosseum, the statues and
monuments - operate as, or become, the sites/sights of Rome.The
analyses are informed by contemporary critical thinking and draw on
ancient historical narrative, Roman poetry, Renaissance literature
and cartography, art of the Grand Tour era, Russian and Soviet
interpretations, and twentieth-century cinema.
