The Book Lover's Guide to Rome (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781036105174)

A literary guide to Rome, tracing centuries of writers, stories, and inspiration through the city's streets.

Discover the Rome that has inspired writers for centuries, from the Classical era to the present day. Walk in the footsteps of Virgil's Aeneid, trace the path of Renaissance laureates or writers on the Grand Tour. The Book Lover's Guide to Rome takes you to the favourite haunts of the Romantic poets, the places that stirred the Victorian imagination or formed the backdrop to the dolce vita. It also showcases the literature from a different Rome, one that struggled through the war and aired its scars in neo-realism and detective fiction. Whether at the scene of Ovid's amorous adventures whilst watching the chariot races in the Circus Maximus or at a caffè that attracted the literati, each location is accompanied by sumptuous full colour photographs and helpful information on the best mode of travel.
