Publisher description
The cliche is of the artist starving in his garret. Be it poet or author it seems romantic but lacks somewhat in the comforts and quality of life.Somewhat better then to live and write in perhaps the Classical Cultural centre of the world; Italy. A gloried land that sates the appetite yet something increases its ambition and its yearning for further reach. Being an English author in a new and different culture seems to work its magic when these two are placed together in the same spot with a rich vocabulary; ideas seem more fully formed and characters have another edge to their existence. For the outsider looking in, more can be revealed and shared with ourselves.Some of the authors joining us are Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edith Wharton, F Marion Crawford, Frank Stockton and Vernon Lee
