Invitation to Italian Poetry

Front Cover
Courier Corporation, 2000 M10 10
The works of the celebrated masters - Dante, Petrarch, Ariosto, Leopardi, and Montale - appear alongside those of less well-known but highly worthy poets. Intended for readers wishing a better acquaintance with Italy's rich literary tradition, this anthology has much to offer students of Italian language and literature as well as poetry lovers who know little or nothing of the language. The original verses appear with English translations on the facing pages, and brief biographies introduce all of the poets and their works.
