Wandering the streets of this legendary city, Eleanor fell under Rome's spellits pace of life, the wry outlook of its men and women, its magnificent history and breathtaking contribution to world culture. Rome is life itselfa sensuous, hectic, chaotic, and utterly fascinating blend of the comic and the tragic. Clark highlights Roman art and architecture, including Hadrian's Villaan enormous, unfinished palaceas a prism to view the city and its history, and offers a lovely portrait of the Cimitero acattolicolong known as the Protestant cemeterywhere Keats, Shelley, and other foreign notables rest. Harper Perennial first published Rome and a Villa in 1992, forty years after its original hardcover publication.
