Dorothy, and Other Italian Stories
Dorothy, and Other Italian Stories, published in 1896, two years after Constance Fenimore Woolson's death in Venice, gathers five stories of Americans and English living abroad, most of them in and around Florence. The title story opens on a Saturday afternoon at a villa where visitors gather in the garden and the salon; A Transplanted Boy is set in an echoing Italian palace; A Florentine Experiment begins with two women on the heights of Fiesole discussing a man in love; A Waitress unfolds over coffee in a garden; and At the Château of Corinne moves to the shores of Lake Geneva. Woolson, a friend of Henry James, writes precisely of loneliness, pride and the misunderstandings of people far from home. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
