Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook to Dante Last summer, while preparing some lectures on Dante, I was struck with the fact that there did not exist in English any Handbook to Dante, any book calculated to furnish intending students of his works with the necessary preparatory information, historical, bibliographical, biographical, and literary. My first impulse was to attempt the compilation of such a book, which seemed called for by the daily-increasing interest in the great Christian poet; but, on reflection, it seemed to me that I might obtain a better result, by translating some Italian or German manual, and making such additions as would suit it to the needs of English-speaking students. This I have now done, having selected for translation the Dante-Manual which finds most favor in Italy, which is the work of one of the best Dante-scholars of our time, and which seems to me almost a model for a Handbook. My own additions, which, for the most part, take the form of foot-notes, included in brackets, will, it is hoped, add to the value of the work, and supplement certain one-sided views held by Dr. Scartazzini.

Download or read book The Earliest Lives of Dante Classic Reprint written by Giovanni Boccaccio and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Earliest Lives of Dante These lives of Dante were written, one within fifty, the other within a hundred and twenty-five years, after the poet's death. Boccaccio was acquainted with at least four persons who, as we have reason to believe, knew Dante in the flesh, and he could draw his information from them as well as from popular tradition. Bruni, on the other hand, who, as he himself says, supplements the work of his predecessor, derives the bulk of his matter from public documents and let ters of Dante, which are not now extant. The value, then, Of their works lies in their nearness to authoritative sources. No other documents Of anything like equal importance as regards the life of Dante have come down to us. Our knowledge of the poet as he moved among men is almost wholly derived from these two lives and from his own works. The facts here presented are not all Of equal significance or trustworthiness. The dream of the poet's mother, the presumed unhappiness Of his marriage, the charge made against him of great licentiousness in youth and manhood, the dates here given of his works, the loss and recovery Of the last thirteen cantos of the C ommedia, have no evidence in their favor other than that which is here presented. But the main features Of his life: the time and place of his birth, his liberal education, his life-long love of Beatrice on earth and in the spirit, his marriage to Gemma Donati, his rise to the highest places in the government of Florence, his banishment and twenty years of exile, and the date and manner of his death, these things, I repeat, we know to be true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aids to the Study of Dante The Divina Commedia is singular among the great works with which it ranks, for its strong stamp of permnal character and history. In general we asso ciate little more than the name not the life of a great poet with his works; personal interest belongs more usually to greatness in its active than its crea tive forms. But the whole idea and purpose of the Commedia, as well as its filling up and coloring, are determined by Dante's peculiar history. The loftiest, perhaps, in its aim and flight of all poems, it is also the most individual; the writer's own life is chronicled init, aswell as the issues and upshotof all things. It is at once themirror to all time of thesinsand perfections of men, of the judgments and grace of God, and the record, often the only one, of the tran sient names, and local factions, and obscure ambitions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Dante More than nineteen years have elapsed since the composition, and more than seventeen since the publication of this book. It was written at Heiligenblut, beneath the glaciers of the Gross Glockner, during the summer of 1870 - that year which saw the fall of the French and the foundation of the German Empire. I wrote it originally for lectures, and when I sent it to press in 1872, I did not alter its form in any essential particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Dante IN the fourteen years which have elapsed since the appearance of Dean Plumptre's Life of Dante a good deal of labour has been bestowed upon the investigation of points connected with the history of the poet and his times; and it may be doubted whether the accomplished author himself would still be prepared to main tain all the positions which his enthusiasm for his subject then led him to take up. At all events it was thought that, another edition being walled for, something might be done in the way of pruning down a little of the some what exuberant conjecture in which the Dean, after the fashion of an earlier school of bio graphers, was apt to indulge. This has been done very sparingly; and a good deal has been left which the present editor is by no means prepared to endorse; but it is hoped that in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From Dante "Florence, the most famous and most beauteous daughter of Rome." Dante. "O foster-nurse of man s abandoned glory, Since Athens, its great mother, sunk in splendour; Thou shadowest forth that mighty shape in story, As ocean its wrecked fanes, severe yet tender: The light-invested angel Poesy Was drawn from the dim world to welcome thee." Shelley. Florence, on the river Arno, which has been noted for centuries as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, had, when our story begins, but few of the churches, palaces, and public buildings, decorated with sculpture and frescoes, which were afterwards to make her famous. Her citizens, however, were proud of their town and were continually rebuilding it and extending their borders as their wealth and numbers increased. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries they began to employ the wandering, or "Free" masons, and the sculptors and painters, who, travelling over Europe, erected cathedrals, churches, and stately palaces, as they went.
