The hero in eclipse in Victorian fiction; (Oxford paperbacks, 175)

Oxford U.P.

In this now-classic study, Praz describes the whole of Romantic literature under one of its most characteristic aspects, that of erotic sensibility. This wide spread mood in literature had a major effect on 19th-century poets and painters, and the affinities between them and their 20th-century counterparts makes this account of the Romantic-Decadents an indispensible guide to the study of modern literature.

From the time of Chaucer to the present we follow the sense of Italy and Italian thought and imagination which has directed and enlivened the works of major English writers―Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, the Elizabethan dramatists, Donne, Crashaw, and the Brownings among them. Here, in his own translations and in original English versions of his own, Professor Praz has gathered many important essays central to his life’s work, in a continuous study of the vital currents which have flowed between two cultures, the English and the Italian. The classic writers of Italy―Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Ariosto, Tasso, and others―are studied in their effects on English literature.

An Illustrated History of Interior Decoration: From Pompeii to Art Nouveau

“This prize book on the subject of domestic decoration . . . enchantingly informs us about the evolution of taste and comfort.” ―Art &amp; Auction The appeal of this extraordinary book lies in its rapt obsession with the details of the domestic interior, borne out in a wonderfully rich collection of pictures. These charming paintings and watercolors, mostly dating from 1770 to 1860 and coming from all over Europe, Russia, and America, record with faithful accuracy the shape of a room, the pattern of a carpet, the furniture, pictures, fabrics, and wall coverings, the hang of the curtains and the fall of the light they admit. The pictures find their place in a complete survey of domestic―and some more palatial―interiors portrayed in art from the ancient world to the late nineteenth century, and including works by Vermeer, Hogarth, Durer, Degas, and Vuillard. The text goes beyond scholarly commentary to present an evolving picture of men and women in relation to domestic surroundings, full of human interest, wit, and wide-ranging cultural references. Mario Praz (1896–1982) was Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Rome. The most celebrated of his many other books is The Romantic Agony. 400, 64 in color
