''Christ in Italy: Being the Adventures of a Maverick Among Masterpieces'' is a travelogue written by Mary Hunter Austin and published in 1912. The book chronicles Austin’s journey through Italy, where she explores the country’s art, architecture, and culture. Austin’s unique perspective as a ''maverick'' allows her to offer a fresh take on the familiar landmarks and monuments of Italy, including the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Uffizi Gallery. Throughout the book, Austin also reflects on the role of Christianity in Italian culture, and how it has shaped the country’s art and history. ''Christ in Italy'' is a vivid and engaging portrait of one of the world’s most beloved travel destinations, written by a pioneering feminist writer and thinker.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
