Explore how Italian poets revived and adapted classical metres to shape a new poetic language.
This scholarly study traces the revival of Latin and Greek meters in Italian poetry from the 15th century through the early 1800s. It surveys key figures, publications, and debates that moved Italian verse toward quantitative forms, while examining the influence of Horace, Chiabrera, and Carducci. The work explains how editors and critics connected Italian prosody with Latin models, and it assesses the successes and limits of these classical imitations.
