Stray Studies from England and Italy
Stray Studies from England and Italy, published in 1876, collects essays and sketches by John Richard Green, the historian whose Short History of the English People had just made him widely known. Most first appeared in Macmillan's Magazine and the Saturday Review. They include portraits of places and people, such as "A Brother of the Poor," "Lambeth and the Archbishops," "Abbot and Town," "The District Visitor," "The Early History of Oxford" and "The Home of Our Angevin Kings," alongside Italian pieces written during winters spent abroad for his health: five "Sketches in Sunshine," "The Florence of Dante," two Venetian studies, a study of Virgil's Aeneas, and essays on Capri and its coral fishers.
