XX [From the back cover] In this anthology, 165 Italian poems are printed opposite their verse translations. The most important poets in Italy from the thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth centuries are included, and all of the rare forms of the early Italian lyric - canzone, sestina, madrigal, and ballata - are represented. Highlights of this comprehensive collection are Rossetti's translations of Dante's shorter poems, Ezra Pound's translations of Cavalcanti, and Morris Bishop's versions of Petrarch. Certain poets - Boiardo, Lorenzo de' Medici, Poliziano, Ariosto, and Tasso, among others - are presented for the first time in accurate renderings of some of their best as well as least known poems. In his Introduction, Thomas G. Bergin, Sterling Professor of Romance Languages and Master of Timothy Dwight College of Yale University, discusses this entire period In Italian poetry and its significance for the development of poetry in other lands. Professor L. R. Lind is Chairman of the Classics Department at the University of Kansas. XX Translated by masters of the English tongue, in many instances the poems achieve the effect of spontaneous, freshly written lyrics. The choice of texts and the caliber of the translations are throughout beyond reproach (PAUL G. RUGGIERS, Books Abroad). XX The 165 poems are excellently chosen both for their intrinsic worth and as characteristic of the more than 30 poets included. With Mr. Bergin's brief but admirable Introduction and each author's short biographical note, Mr. Lind has given the general reader much-needed access to the first - and richest - four centuries of the Italian lyric (T. MACALLISTER, Yale Review).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 280 pages. Published in 1995. Posthumous collection of the author's nonfiction. One of Danilo Kis' finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a tiny first print run as a hardcover original only. There is NO equivalent volume in Serbian, Hungarian, or Croatian. Presents Danilo Kis' "Homo Poeticus: Essays And Interviews". Edited with an Introduction by the devoted Susan Sontag. Collects, from various, disparate original sources, Danilo Kis' pieces, which individually and collectively, represent an indispensable contribution to world literature of the writer's work. Danilo Kis was The Wandering Jew par excellence. He lived everywhere in Europe, and wherever he was, received well-deserved acclaim, awards, that is to say, prestige, not just recognition. Had he not died young at the age of 54 in 1989 (from lung cancer), he would surely have received the ultimate prize: The Nobel. In any case, no one else of his generation was more deserving. An absolute "must-have" title for Danilo Kis collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws (because the beige DJ soils right away) or are the Softcover Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DANILO KIS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374257914. no.…
