A Literary Companion To Venice: Including Seven Walking Tours
Book Description
Venice has through the centuries attracted an extraordinary range of writers, drawn to it for inspiration, for consolation, or for the sheer pleasure of is unique setting. That so much of the city remains unchanged gives their words a powerful hold over our imaginations today. In this extravagant theater, writes Littlewood, we are as likely to chance upon the site of the murder of a Renaissance prince as the seduction of an eighteenth-century nun; the execution of a dissolute friar as the musings of a Victorian poet. All have their place in these pages, including the writings of Byron, Goethe, James, Proust, Lawrence, and Pound, among others.

Arranged in the form of seven detailed walks through Venice, this Literary Companion provides an illuminating guide to the streets, palaces, churches, and canals that make up this exquisite city. Venice's hidden corners-rife with feuds, rivalries, and romance-have never been brought so vividly to life.

The World of Venice by Jan Morris (ISBN 0-15-698356-7)
This book (titled Venice in the UK) was first published in 1960 under the byline of James Morris, when its English author was a foreign correspondent living in Italy. The current edition's seamless blend of history, social commentary, and personal travel narrative make it the definitive "must read" introduction to Venice and her people.

A Venetian Affair
The author's father found a packet of letters in the attic of the ancient family palazzo in Venice from Andrea Memmo, a great-great-great-great-great grandfather, to his young lover whom he was forbidden to marry. The two met clandestinely, were separated, and wrote dozens of letters, which document not only a passionate love affair but the world of Venice in the 1750s. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003 written by Andrea Di Robilant.

Wings of the Dove
Classic Henry James story of a love triangle set in Venice in the early twentieth century. It was recently made into a movie with beautiful scenes of Venice.
