A history of Italian literature

by Richard Garnett

NINETEENTH CENTURY

The most valuable essays on Italian literature in the nineteenth century are at present to be found in periodicals, especially the Nuova Antologia and theDeutsche Rundschau; in general works on Italy like Mariotti’s; in the biographies and correspondence of distinguished authors of the period, and in such monographs upon them as Zumbini’sSulle Poesie di Vincenzo Monti. Modern Italian poetry is well treated by W. D. Howells,Modern Italian Poets, 1887; by F. Sewall in his introduction to his translations from Carducci, 1892; and in the preface and biographical introductions to Greene’sItalian Lyrists of To-Day, 1893.
