Conversations in Rome: Between an Artist, a Catholic, and a Critic (1847)

""Conversations in Rome"" is a book written by William Ellery Channing in 1847. The book revolves around a series of conversations that took place between an artist, a Catholic, and a critic in Rome. The three characters discuss a wide range of topics, including religion, art, philosophy, and politics. The artist, who is a Protestant, shares his views on the role of art in society and how it can be used to express religious beliefs. The Catholic, on the other hand, discusses the importance of tradition and the role of the Church in shaping society. The critic provides a more critical perspective, questioning the validity of certain beliefs and practices. Through these conversations, Channing explores the tensions and conflicts that arise when individuals from different backgrounds and beliefs come together to discuss important issues. The book offers a unique insight into the intellectual and cultural climate of mid-19th century Rome and provides a thought-provoking examination of some of the key debates of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
