Fakta

In "Roma Beata: Letters from the Eternal City," Maud Howe Elliott crafts a beautifully evocative narrative that transports readers to the heart of Rome in the late 19th century. The book comprises a series of personal letters, penned with lyrical elegance and rich descriptive detail, illustrating not only the breathtaking beauty and allure of the city but also its intricate cultures, historical depth, and the vibrant social fabric of the time. Elliott'Äôs literary style is imbued with a keen observational quality, reflecting an acute awareness of the interplay between the sacred and the profane that defines the Eternal City, thus situating her work within the broader context of travel literature and women'Äôs writing during this period. Maud Howe Elliott, an accomplished author and a prominent figure of her time, was steeped in the artistic and literary circles of her era. A daughter of the famous suffragist Julia Ward Howe, her exposure to progressive ideologies and artistic endeavors likely influenced her perspective as she sought to document the Rome she encountered, blending personal experience with broader cultural reflections. Her letters not only reveal her own intellectual journey but also resonate with the evolution of women'Äôs voices in literature. "Roma Beata" is a delightful invitation for readers to experience Rome through the eyes of a perceptive traveler. Scholars of travel literature, as well as those who simply appreciate beautifully composed prose, will find Elliott's observations both poignant and profound. This book serves as a captivating exploration of a city that continues to inspire and enchant, making it a must-read for anyone eager to understand the enduring allure of Rome.
