Excerpt from Italy, Vol. 2 of 2: General Views of Its History and Literature in Reference to Its Present State
A lapse of nearly one hundred years must be considered as entirely lost in the progress of ori ginal Italian literature. Nature had, by a rare phenomenon, given birth to three sovereign minds in the same country, in the same city, and very nearly in the same age, and, by the wisest disposition, so tempered each of them as to suit them to widely different and yet equally important purposes.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book surveys the literary history of Italy from the death of Dante to the Counter-Reformation. In the fourteenth century, Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio transformed Italian from a local dialect into a masterpiece of elegant form. Italian authors flourished in the following century under the patronage of wealthy princes like the Medicis, leading to a great interest in the works of classical Greece and Rome. This elevation of classical works led to the second age of Latin language, with writers such as Politian and Bembo emulating the Romans in elegance and style. The Counter-Reformation and the Inquisition put an end to this flourishing literary environment, resulting in a decline in Italian literature from which it never fully recovered.
