Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Italian Lyrists of to-Day: Translations From Contemporary Italian Poetry With Bigraphical Notices The years between 1860 and 1870 saw the making of the Italian nation; but they seemed almost to look on at the death-throes of Italian literature. Never had letters in general, and poetry in especial, sunk to so low an ebb. It was not that there were no authors, but that those there were wrote but little, were founding no school and heading no onward movement; and, above all, that no one read their works - no one, that is, save the select few who in all ages, throughout the darkest hours of gloom and depression, tend and keep alive the sacred lamp of art. How long ago that period of literary darkness seems to be, to the Italian of to-day! ´Who remembers now,´ asks Carducci, writing in 1880, the Italian poetry of ten or eleven years since? Yet there were poets in the land, some who still continued their song, and others who rested on laurels won long years before.
