Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Manfred: Or, the Battle of Benevento Several years have passed since I first presented to the American public two works of this fertile Italian author, the "Beatrice Cenci" and "Isabella Orsini." The following historical Romance was already in course of preparation, when the sad war which broke out in the United States interrupted my labors; and since then, being appointed to a responsible office abroad, my official duties have prevented my attending to literary works. Having lately been recalled from my post, I have resumed my labors, hoping to bring to the knowledge of American readers some more of the works of the principal writers who have illustrated Italy in this century. The work of Italian independence is accomplished. But the world that has rejoiced at the result little knows the long years of preparation and of suffering that preceded it. The men of action that have led the movement both in the field and in politics are well known; but the studious minds, the scholars and poets that prepared it, and were the first to breathe the name of Italy and Italian independence, are comparatively unknown; but their name is legion, and most of the present freedom and welfare of Italy is due to them and their teachings. Among these, Guerrazzi was the earliest and boldest writer, whose aim was the regeneration of Italy and her redemption from both foreign and domestic oppression.
