Anne Hampton Brewster’s florid 1866 novel St. Martin’s Summer is set mostly in Italy and inspired by her experiences as a young, single American woman on her European grand tour. Brewster, who became one of America's first female foreign correspondents, is also one of the fascinating women profiled in our guest Etta Madden’s recent book Engaging Italy: American Women’s Utopian Visions and Transnational Networks.Discussed in this episode: St. Martin’s Summer by Anne Hampton BrewsterEngaging Italy: American Women’s Utopian Visions and Transnational Networks by Etta MaddenA Room with a View by E.M.
