In her fourth literary travel companion, Alice Leccese Powers explores one of the most seductive regions of the world through more than two centuries of fiction, poetry, essays, letters, and memoirs by English-speaking visitors to northern Italy.
The poet Shelley called Tuscany a paradise of exiles; it has long been a magnet for literary travelers and expatriates. Here are writers who have made their home in Tuscan villas, castles, and farmhouses, from the Shelleys, Byron, and the Brownings to Frances Mayes. Here too are Charles Dickens, Edith Wharton, Henry James, and E. M. Forster on the glories of Florence, Pisa's leaning tower, and the enchanting Tuscan countryside, alongside the tart wit of Mark Twain, Mary McCarthy, and Erica Jong. From James Boswell's record of his romantic dalliances to Laura Fraser's memoir An Italian Affair to Sarah Dunant's novel The Birth of Venus, Tuscany in Mind assembles a glittering mosaic portrait of an unforgettable place. Kinta Beevor - James Boswell - Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Robert Browning - Lord Byron - Bruce Chatwin - Ann Cornelisen - Charles Dickens - Sarah Dunant - Lawrence Ferlinghetti - Penelope Fitzgerald - E. M. Forster - Laura Fraser - Paul Gervais - Barbara Grizzuti Harrison - Robert Hellenga - William Dean Howells - Henry James - Erica Jong - D. H. Lawrence - David Leavitt and Mark Mitchell - Robert Lowell - Frances Mayes - Mary McCarthy - H. V. Morton - Eric Newby - Iris Origo - John Ormond - Elizabeth Romer - John Ruskin - Mary Shelley - Percy Bysshe Shelley - Kate Simon - Tobias Smollett - Matthew Spender - Stephen Spender - Mark Twain - Edith Wharton
