Four artists in Rome are bound together by a sudden murder that awakens one innocent nature to sin and sorrow.
Books mentioned in The Marble Faun (1)
The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini by Benvenuto Cellini: “"Do you remember that veritable scene in Benvenuto Cellini's autobiography, in which a necromancer of his acquaintance draws a magic circle--just where the black cross stands now, I suppose--and raises myriads of demons?”
Books that mention The Marble Faun (2)
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton: “If you dined with the Lovell Mingotts you got canvas-back and terrapin and vintage wines; at Adeline Archer's you could talk about Alpine scenery and "The Marble Faun"; and luckily the Archer Madeira had gone round the Cape.”
The Octopus by Frank Norris: “The "Marble Faun," Raphael's "Madonnas" and "Il Trovatore" were her beau ideals of literature and art.”
