In this remarkable book, William L. Vance discusses the impact of Rome on American artists and writers from the earliest days of the new republic. Vance presents examples of American painting, sculpture, and writings of many different kinds (novels, poetry, travel books, letters, cultural commentary, journalism) that have been inspired by American encounters with Roman places and people over the course of two centuries. Drawing on the work of more than three hundred artists and writers - from Benjamin West and John Singer Sargent to Paul Cadmus and Cy Twombly, from Emerson and Hawthorne to Gore Vidal and Richard Wilbur - Vance shows how these and many other Americans reacted to the reality and symbolism of Rome.
