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.

Download or read book Dante Alighieri Classic Reprint written by Paget Toynbee and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dante Alighieri This little book lays no claim to originality, and makes no pretence to learning or research. It is addressed rather to the so-called general reader than to the serious Dante student. The narrative is taken largely from the pages of Villani, Boccaccio, and from other similar sources. The reader will find fiction (at any rate from the critics point of view) as well as fact in these pages, but he will, I hope, be at no loss to distinguish between the two. The legends and traditions which hang around the name of a great personality are a not unimportant element in bis biography, and may sometimes serve to place him as well as, if not better than, the more sober estimates of the serious historian. I have not, therefore, thought it outside the scope of this sketch of Dante's life to include some of the anecdotes which at an early date began to he associated with bis name, though certain of them demonstrably belong to a far earlier period.

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 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 Dante in America: A Historical and Bibliographical Study This contrast between the present interest in Dante and the small following which he had in America in the early part of the century indicates an advance in culture and sound literary judgment. The statement that the love of Italian poetry has risen and fallen in England with the rise and decay of true poetic feeling and work manship, is also, in a much more restricted measure, of course, true of American letters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dante at Ravenna: A Study The following brief study of the closing years of the life of Dante is offered as a humble contribution to the mass of literature and research which centres in that great name. Yet in his quiet exile at Ravenna Dante is perhaps not so well known to the student of his life and works as when a citizen of Florence in the early and more stirring periods of his life. But many a passage, both in the 'Divina Commedia' and in his minor works, tends to show how much his mind was influenced by the place of his latest sojourn upon earth. Frequent visits to the Romagna and Ravenna have enabled the writer, while following in his footsteps, to form some idea of the charm which that part of Italy, and the ancient city itself, must have held for the poet.
