“A Wanderer in Venice” is a fantastic account of the author's experiences wandering around Venice, first published in 1914. Beautifully written and incredibly detailed, this volume leads the reader around the ancient city's streets and monuments, inviting them to soak up the atmosphere through vivid descriptions and interesting information. Enjoyable and informative, “A Wanderer in Venice” offers an authentic glimpse of Venice in the early twentieth century and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: “The Bridge of the Adriatic”, “S. Mark's. I: The Exterior”, “S. Mark's. II: The Interior”, “The Piazza and the Campanile”, “The Doges' Palace I: The Interior”, “ The Doges' Palace I: The Exterior”, “The Piazetta”, “The Grand Canal I: From the Dogana to the Palazzo Rezzonico, Looking to the Left”, “The Grand Canal II: Browning and Wagner”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned introduction.

This book introduces the idea and experience of wandering, as reflected in cultural texts from popular songs to philosophical analysis, providing both a fascinating informal history and a necessary vantage point for understanding - in our era - the emergence of new wanderers. Wanderers offers a fast-paced, wide-ranging, and compelling introduction to this significant and recurrent theme in literary history. David Brown Morris argues that wandering, as a primal and recurrent human experience, is basic to the understanding of certain literary texts. In turn, certain prominent literary and cultural texts (from Paradise Lost to pop songs, from Wordsworth to the blues, from the Wandering Jew to the film Nomadland) demonstrate how representations of wandering have changed across cultures, times, and genres. Wanderers provides an initial overview necessary to grasp the importance of wandering both as a perennial human experience and as a changing historical event, including contemporary forms such as homelessness and climate migration that make urgent claims upon us. Wanderers takes you on a thoroughly enjoyable and informative stroll through a significant concept that will be of interest to those studying or researching literature, cultural studies, and philosophy.
