Studies in the Poetry of Italy Part II

Studies in the Poetry of Italy, Part II, covers the modern centuries of Italian verse and comes from Oscar Kuhns (1856-1929), the Wesleyan University Romance-languages professor and Dante scholar. The survey carries the story from the Renaissance poets through Tasso and Ariosto toward the national literature of the nineteenth century, written for English-speaking students rather than specialists. Kuhns also wrote a popular study of Dante and the great mystics, and his plain expository style made Italian poetry approachable for a generation of American readers.
