By Henry Perry Leland

Book Overview

Americans in Rome is a historical book written by Henry Perry Leland and first published in 1863. The book is a detailed account of the experiences of American artists, writers, and intellectuals who lived in Rome during the mid-19th century. It provides an insight into the cultural and social milieu of Rome during that period and explores the lives and works of prominent American figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Hosmer, and William Wetmore Story. The book also sheds light on the artistic and intellectual movements that influenced American culture during the time, including the Romanticism and the American Renaissance. Through a series of anecdotes, Leland captures the essence of life in Rome during the period, and provides a unique perspective on the American expatriate community in Italy.
