Book Description
Excerpt from Lives of the Italian Poets, Vol. 1 of 3 The names of Carey, of Rose, and Wiffen, need but be mentioned to remind the English reader, that in transferring the works of the three' greatest poets of Italy into our mother tongue, translation has been carried to a degree of per fection scarcely in any instance before attained; while the name of Roscoe, so worthy in every respect of veneration, reminds us how much has been done in this country to make known the most important periods of Italian history. Nor is there any reason to fear that the literature which so many circumstances tend to make popular in this country, should at present lose any portion of its popularity. More than one of its most distin guished scholars have lived among us, employing their talents in facilitating its study; and in Dr. Panizzi, the judicious and accomplished Professor at the London University, we have'another in stance of the advantage a country reaps in be coming the sojourn of these learned and enlight ened strangers.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories From the Italian Poets, Vol. 2 of 2: With Lives of the Writers Little is known of his life, but that little is very pleasant. It exhibits him in the rare light of a poet who was at once rich, romantic, an Area dian and a man of the world, a feudal lord and an indulgent philosopher, a courtier equally beloved by prince and people. Matteo Maria Boiardo, Count of Scandiano, Lord of Arceto, Casalgrande, &c., Governor Of Reggio, and Captain of the Citadel of Modena (it is pleasant to repeat such titles when so adorned), is understood to have been born about the year 1434, at Scandiano, a castle at the foot of the Apennines, not far from Reggio, and famous for its vines.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories From the Italian Poets, Vol. 1 of 2: With Lives of the Writers The abstract of Dante, therefore, in these volumes (with every deprecation that becomes me of being sup posed to pretend to give a thorough idea of any poetry whatsoever, especially without its metrical form) aspires to be regarded as, at all events, not exhibiting a false idea of the Dantesque spirit in point of feeling and expression. It is true, I have omitted long tedious lec tures of scholastic divinity, and other learned absurdities of the time, which are among the bars to the poem's being read through, even in Italy (which Foscolo tells us is never the case) and I have compressed the work in other passages not essentially necessary to the forma tion of a just idea of the author. But quite enough re mains to suggest it to the intelligent; and in no instance have I made additions or alterations. There is warrant - I hope I may say letter - for every thing put down. It is probable that a prose translation would give a better idea of the genius and manner of this poet than any metrical one. Vol. I. P. 310.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Italian Poets The purpose of these volumes is, to add to the stock of tales from the Italian writers; to retain at the same time as much of the poetry of the originals as it is in the power of the writer's prose to compass; and to furnish careful biographical notices of the authors. There have been several collections of stories from the novelists of Italy, but none from the poets; and it struck me that prose versions from these, of the kind here offered to the public, might not be unwillingly received. The stories are selected from the five principal narrative poets, Dante, Pulci, Boiardo, Ariosto, and Tasso; they comprise the most popular of such as are fit for translation; are reduced into one continuous narrative, when diffused and interrupted, as in the instances of those of Angelica, and Armida; are accompanied with critical and explanatory notes; and, in the case of Dante, consist of an abstract of the poet's whole work. The volumes are furthermore interspersed with the most favourite morceaux of the originals, followed sometimes with attempts to versify them; and in the Appendix, for the better satisfaction of the student, are given entire stories, also in the original, and occasionally rendered in like manner.
