The article discusses a book titled "English Travellers to Venice 1450 - 1600" edited by Michael G. Brennan. The book provides a wealth of information about Venice during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as well as the experiences of English travelers who journeyed there. Early travelers saw Venice as a staging post for their pilgrimage to the Holy Land, while later travelers were more interested in the city itself, including its government, churches, and customs. The book also touches on Philip Sidney's time in Venice, although he did not show much interest or observation in his correspondence. The article praises the book for its thoroughness, scholarly editing, and rich illustrations. [Extracted from the article] |
