Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Italian Sketches To Miss Jewett´s love of Italy and all things Italian many of her poems bear witness, as do the sketches collected in this volume. Miss Katharine Lee Bates, in a memorial sketch in the Boston Transcript, says: "Italian art and literature were especially congenial to Miss Jewett, and she spent many months, at one time or another, in journeying among the hill towns of Umbria and the small, out-of-the-way cities of Northern Italy. Her sympathy with the Latin races, in whom, she says, one finds commonly ´the expectant temperament that brings a touch of idealism to all but the abjectest poverty,´ is shown very sweetly in a sketch entitled ´The Land of Lady Poverty´ (in the Outlook, August 26, 1905). Yet she went on these pilgrimages only when in such sore need of rest that she shrank from poetic enterprises, lest her weariness should do her theme dishonor, and wrote what she had strength to write in her firm and sensitive prose, seen at its best in ´The Fate of Francesco´ (in Scribner´s, July, 1905), and in ´The Lover of Trees in Italy´ (in Scribner´s, June, 1903). The element of accident, too, entered in. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
