Title: Italian journeys
Description: "In the later part of his long and productive life - he wrote well over a dozen novels, thirty-one dramas, a few volumes of verse, several autobiographical works, eleven books of travel - W. D. Howells was considered one of America's foremost men of letters."--BOOK JACKET.

"Italian Journeys, published in 1867 and written during the four years Howells spent as an American consul in Venice, is more than a lively, knowing, and entertaining book of travel. It is also a shrewd and perceptive inspection of persons and places European. On every page it interrogates European values while between every line it grapples with problems of American identity."--BOOK JACKET.
