Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings From Macaulay, Italy It is now sixty years since an article upon Milton, in "The Edinburgh Review," called the attention of shrewd readers to a new English writer, who, in the judgment of many, showed a scholarship far keener than Brougham's, with a gift of style more captivating than that of Jeffrey, and flashes of wit rivaling those of that other veteran of the "Review," - Rev. Sydney Smith. Two years later, appeared the study of Machiavelli from the same hand; and thereafter in quick succession, with like eloquent periods, and show of abundant learning, and piquant epigrams, followed the papers on "History" and "Hallam" and "Southey's Colloquies." Americans quickly caught a relish for this new literary savor; and, in the year 1840, two little bouncing, green-covered volumes of essays introduced to the readers of our Western world - Thomas Babington Macaulay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quite simply one of the best books of the year." —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Ben Downing's Queen Bee of Tuscany brings an extraordinary Victorian back to life. Born into a distinguished intellectual family and raised among luminaries such as Dickens and Thackeray, Janet Ross married at eighteen and went to live in Egypt. There, for the next six years, she wrote for the London Times, hobnobbed with the developer of the Suez Canal, and humiliated pashas in horse races. In 1867 she moved to Florence, Italy where she spent the remaining sixty years of her life writing a series of books and hosting a colorful miscellany of friends and neighbors, from Mark Twain to Bernard Berenson, at Poggio Gherardo, her house in the hills above the city. Eventually she became the acknowledged doyenne of the Anglo-Florentine colony, as it was known. Yet she was also immersed in the rural life of Tuscany: An avid agriculturalist, she closely supervised the farms on her estate and the sharecroppers who worked them, often pitching in on grape and olive harvests. Spirited, erudite, and supremely well-connected, Ross was one of the most dynamic women of her day. Her life offers a fascinating window on fascinating times, from the Risorgimento to the rise of fascism. Encompassing all this rich history, Queen Bee of Tuscany is a panoramic portrait of an age, a family, and our evolving love affair with Tuscany. A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2013
