Summary: "Passages from the French and Italian Notebooks, Volume 2" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a travel narrative composed during the mid-19th century. This volume of the notebooks explores Hawthorne's observations and reflections while he travels through European art and culture, particularly in Italy and France.
