During the 1860s, W.D. Howells was the American consul in Venice. This text is his humorous portrait of the city. He swam in the Grand Canal, dined with the rich and mingled with the humble. Howells tells his story with wit and curiosity.

W. D. Howells (1837-1920) is one of America's most important men of letters. In addition to writing such classics as The Rise of Silas Lapham (Norton, 1982) and Italian Journeys (Marlboro Books/Northwestern, 1999), Howells served as editor of the Atlantic Monthly and Harper's and authored novels, dramas, autobiographical works, and books of travel.
