"When it comes to reading the excellent text and looking at the beautiful illustrations of The Architectural History of Venice .. . take your time. Make the pleasure last. Savor this new book. . . . Anyone can enjoy it whether as an armchair preparation for or a substitute for an actual visit or as a way to recall the pleasures of an actual visit."--Leonard R. N. Ashley, Bibliothque d'Humanisme et Renaissance " The Architectural History of Venice has now emerged in a wholly updated form, replenished with excellent new colour illustrations. It is the ideal companion for anyone seeking to evade the day-trippers and embark, with the help of Howard's knowledge and insights, on an exploration of the city's buildings. This is a hugely rewarding and accessible book."-- Modern Painters "Well documented and superbly illustrated. . . . This will surely remain the standard work on the subject, based on acquaintance with the architecture of western Asia as well as that of Venice about which she has written the best brief history."--Hugh Honour, New York Review of Books "An expanded and updated edition of [Howard's] concise survey of Venetian architecture. . . . This new edition is most notable for its very fine selection of color photographs, a significant improvement over earlier versions. The clear prose and direct style, coupled with the author's obvious familiarity with the trends in scholarship on Venetian architecture, make the book useful for anyone interested in the subject, from first-year undergraduates to faculty members and researchers."-- Choice "Howard has produced a thoughtful work, almost meditative at times, whose original and creative approach will leave readers wanting to visit both Venice and the realm further east from which it received so much."--John Renard, Religion and the Arts, "When it comes to reading the excellent text and looking at the beautiful illustrations of The Architectural History of Venice .. . take your time.
