Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Italian Literature: 1265-1907 It will thus be seen that this series is not confined to any one branch of literature, but represents all in fair proportion. With a lucid history of Italy's literature for the opening volume, the other fifteen fall naturally into three sections: first, Poetry, the Drama, and Belles lettres; second, Essays, Memoirs, and Historical Ro mance; and third, Fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Italian Literature I think, says jowett, writing to John Addington Symonds (august 4, that you are happy in having unlocked so much of Italian literature, certainly the greatest in the world after Greek, Latin, English. To have interpreted one such literature and made it accessible to English-speaking people seems to me a sufficient result of a life. It seems, however, peculiarly appropriate that a history of Italian literature should follow and should precede other and parallel histories. Symonds himself had long before pointed out that no man, at least in a single work of moderate compass, can fully deserve the credit of having unlocked Italian literature. The study of Italian letters, he had reminded us, cannot be profitably pursued by itself. The literature of Italy requires to be constantly considered in connection with other litera tures, both those from which it is itself derived, and those which it has deeply influenced. It is more inti mately affiliated to antiquity than any other European literature, and may indeed be regarded as a continuation or revival of the Latin. Its advent was long and uh accountably delayed - it is the youngest of all the chief European literatures; but when at length it did appear.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature of Italy: Consists of Sixteen Volumes, of Which This One Forms a Part; For Full Particulars of the Edition See the Official Certificate Bound in the Volume Entitle "a History of Italian Literature" There is also another point of resemblance between the two novels. If Manzoni might have laid down his pen with the happy conviction that he had written no line which, dying, he could wish to blot, Grossi was, in this respect, a worthy follower of his great master. This last consideration has been the chief incentive to the translator in preparing a new English version of Marco Visconti, which is now humbly offered to the public, in the hope of making the high merit of the original more universally known. The translator is indebted to a friend for the English versions of the Italian ballads. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epochs of Italian Literature Italian was not, among Romance languages, the first to claim the dignity of a literary language. Italians realized but late that, even though Latin was still considered the literary language of the country lying between the Alps and the sea, there was room for a new literary language that should share with it the field of science and literature, with claims not inferior to those which French or Provencal could urge in France. The spoken language of Italy, the vernacular, during the ten centuries that separate Augustus from King Arduin, had diverged more and more from the recognized language of science and art, literary Latin; and, while learned writers laboured for a couple of centuries longer under the delusion that they were full heirs to the perfect craftsmanship of Cicero and Horace, the distinction between the vernacular (volgare) and the literary language (lingua di grammatica) was becoming evident to all. Nor, under the improving social conditions, was it possible to debar from all literary enjoyment those who were ignorant of Latin, any more than it was practicable for judges to continue the use of Latin in the courts, when those who appeared before them understood nothing but the vernacular. The peoples of France and Spain, being farther removed from Rome, were faced by difficulties similar but less formidable. Among them Roman tradition was less active. Few, if any, of the inhabitants of Gaul or Iberia regarded themselves as the descendants of the Romans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Italian Literature Indeed, it is scarcely far-fetched to say tha Greece was avenged for her slavery by the not less complete slavery of Rome to her intellectual supremacy. The Roman poets, dazzled by the brilliancy of their Athenian prototypes, fancied that only by imitating, could they hope to excel. A more unfortunate idea never took possession of a nation. It destroyed everything in their writings that was spontaneous and redolent of their native soil. Whatever is really endowed with life and intrinsic value in their works, has had to struggle into existence through the suffocating atmosphere of foreign fashions and foreign trains of thought. This evil was apparent in other branches of litera ture, but it was very far from injuring them as it injured poetry. Virgil was assuredly one of the greatest poets that ever lived, and yet how much of his poetry is second-hand, or, at best, adapted from others. The adaptations are Often executed with marvellous skill, but this fact only enhances our regret that he should have made Of his Eneid but an echo of Homer; and of his Eclogms but a repetition of Theocritus. His Georgia, indeed, escaped being only a decoction from Greek herbs, because in them he wrote of what he had actually seen and experienced, and they are, in truth, his masterpiece. Indeed, if we deduct the extraordi nary beauty Oi the style, which is above praise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Idea in Italian Literature "The National Idea in Italian Literature" was the title of the inaugural lecture delivered in the University of Manchester, on November 6th, 1919, at the opening of the newly-founded department of Italian Studies. In the following pages the lecture has been somewhat expanded and, here and there, modified. It remains, however, substantially the same. I would ask my readers to take it still as no more than a prolusione, and to let this explain, if not excuse, the omission of many names, especially in the nineteenth century, which could not have been passed over in any fuller treatment of the subject.
