Damiano: The Story of a Poor Family (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Damiano: The Story of a Poor Family
Of all the authors of Italy, there is surely none to whom both epithets might be applied more justly than to Giulio Carcano. His fecundity is almost as amazing as that of Lope de Vega in Portugal. His variety is greater. He wrote poetry and prose, fact and fiction, with equal facility, though with various degrees of feli city. But he never was dull and he was always lucid. And when he had no original work in hand he wreaked himself on translations. He was author, editor, critic, dramatist, orator, statesman. He was a member, actual or honorary, of every learned or literary society in Italy, and by virtue of his translation of Shakespeare - still accepted as their standard version by his countrymen was a vice-president of the English Shakespeare Society.
