Referred to as "Magick Land" by one traveler, dreams about the Mediterranean, and responses to it, went on to shape the culture of a nation.   Written by one of the world's leading historians of the Mediterranean, this book charts how a new sensibility arose from British engagement with the Mediterranean, ancient and modern. Ranging from Byron's poetry to Damien Hirst's installations, Robert Holland shows that while idealized visions and aspirations often met with disillusionment and frustration, the Mediterranean also offered a notably insular society the chance to enrich itself through an imagined world of color, carnival, and sensual self-discovery. 410 0$aYale scholarship online. 606 $aBritish$zMediterranean Region$xHistory 606 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization$xMediterranean influences 607 $aMediterranean Region$xForeign relations 615 0$aBritish$xHistory. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xCivilization$xMediterranean influences. 676 $a910.91822 700 $aHolland$b Robert, $01562437 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793108703321 996 $aThe Warm South$93830049 997 $aUNINA
