Annotation
Draws parallels between Hemingway’s descriptions of Torcello found in Across the River and into the Trees and “Torcello Piece” to Ruskin’s The Stones of Venice (1851) and James’s “Venice: An Early Impression” and “Venice,” reflecting on their thematic treatment of beauty and destruction. Zorzi links Hemingway’s aesthetic connection of faith and art to Ruskin.
