Synopsis
Excerpt from Italian Studies Their Place in Modern Education: An Inaugural Address
My interpretation of the charge laid upon me is that you desire to give an initial impulse to Italian studies here in a modern direction while derogatingnothing from the lofty position always held in Cambridge by the Italian Classics, and especially by Dante. No one who has grasped what Italian literature has meant to English poetry and English culture from the time when Chaucer left these shores for Italy and Milton re turned; from the day when the poet Gray crossed the Alps, to the days of Byron, of Leigh Hunt, of Keats, of Shelley, of Swinburne, of the Brownings, and of Meredith - no one I say can desire for a moment to depreciate the study of the Italian Classics.
Let me repeat that no depreciation, no subordination even, of Dante and the classics to modern Italian studies is ln tended. That would be as inept as to neglect or depreciate Shakespeare in a chair of English at an Italian university: t/ze studies are complementary.
