In the era of the Grand Tour, Venice was the cultural jewel in the
crown of Europe and the epitome of decadence. Though visited by
only the lucky few, its seductive charms were shared with those
back home through the art and literature it inspired. This edited
collection draws on a range of disciplines and approaches to
explore how Venice has been represented in Western culture since
1800. Essays from experts in their field consider the city's
depiction in poetry, fiction, art, music and film. Beyond simply
affirming the allure of Venice, this book functions as a case study
with broader implications for the understanding of artistic and
cultural legacies, and the relationships between art and money,
history and myth.
