Excerpt from Early Italian Literature, Vol. 1This work has been prepared with the definite aim of unfolding the wealth and beauties of pre-dante Italian Literature to University Students and to the cultivated public of the British Isles. I believe that the need of such a book exists, for, since the publication of Rossetti's Extracts from the poets of Dante's circle, nobody in this country has attempted to illustrate the pre-dante Italian Literature.The present work consists of two volumes, one devoted to poetry and the other to prose.In this first volume, due attention has been paid to the origin of the Italian language and to the relations between Italian and Provencal Poetry. Some of the opinions expressed may cause surprise to the orthodox reader, or even meet with his disapproval, but they are sincere, being the result of patient investigation and embodying the practical experience of nearly fourteen years' teaching of the subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
