Over the centuries, art inspired by this city on the Adriatic, from the paintings of Titian to the words of Henry James, has spread around the world and into the public imagination.</p> <p> In <em><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14275.html">Tropic of Venice</a></em>, critic, novelist, and traveler Margaret Doody offers her unique perspective on the city where the holy is never far from the sensual. Weaving her personal travel experience into her literary observations, Doody examines how Venice has held so many in its sway and how its reflections in art reveal so much about western culture. <br/>         <br/><br/>       <br/>     </p> </div> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">Posted by PennPress on December 05, 2006 at 05:25 PM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/events_1/">Events</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/literature_cultural_studies/">Literature & Cultural Studies</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/penn_press_news/">Penn Press News</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/travel/">Travel</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2006/12/take_the_tropic.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2006/12/take_the_tropic.html#comments">Comments (0)</a> </p>   </div> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-13525179"> <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2006/10/the_business_of.html">Now Available--The Business of Tourism</a></h3> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050927/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14295.html"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> The Business of Tourism: Place, Faith, and History</strong></span></a> <br/>Philip Scranton and Janet F.
