The Theme of the Plague in Italian Letters
This book examines the theme of the plague in Italian letters, both in poetic and prose works until the time of the plague of Milan of 1630.
Three Italian Epistolary Novels
Three Italian Epistolary Novels looks at the development of a literary genre that flourished in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and counted among its illustrious authors Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. These translations of three Italian novels by Foscolo, De Meis, and Piovene - never offered before in a single study - reflect social, historical, and stylistic aspects through 150 years of Italian literature from the birth of a touching romantic story to the time of the new currents in Italy and the period of World War II. The book is particularly suited for studies in Italian, European, and comparative literature programs.
The Laude in the Middle Ages
The laude represent a particularly significant and unique aspect of Italian medieval devotional literature. Tracing their origin from St. Francis of Assisi's Laudes creaturarum, the laude developed into a popular poetic form among religious groups. This book contains a collection of laude composed in the area of central Italy. They are dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to the patron saint of Arezzo, and to several other religious figures. All share the traditional hortatory fervor and effusion for divine love and protection. They also reveal the writers' considerable knowledge of hagiographical and historical traditions.
A Literary History of the Fourteenth Century
Any one wishing to investigate the literary development of the golden century of early Italian literature, the Trecento, must read Natalino Sapegno's extensive writings on the subject, in particular his Storia Letteraria del Trecento (A Literary History of the Fourteenth Century). The original Italian edition appeared in April 1963 as part of the vast collection, La Letteratura Italiana - Storia e Testi (Italian Literature - History and Texts), directed by Raffaele Mattioli, Pietro Pancrazi, and Alfredo Schiaffini for the Riccardo Ricciardi publishing house. Storia Letteraria del Trecento focuses equally on Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio while minor writers are introduced in proportion to their importance and position in the cultural, historical, and social events of the time.
Giovanni Boccaccio, Theseid of the Nuptials of Emilia
The first epic poem written in Italian is the Teseida delle nozze di Emilia (Theseid of the Nuptials of Emilia) by Giovanni Boccaccio, the well-known author of the Decameron. Conceived and composed during the Florentine author's stay in Naples, it combines masterfully both epic and lyric themes in a genre that may be defined as an epic of love. Besides its intrinsic literary value, the poem reflects the author's youthful emotions and nostalgia for the happiest times of his life.
