Carducci: Selected Verse~
^BCarducci: Selected Verse ~
Edited with a Translation, Introduction and Commentary by David
H. Higgins~
The Italian poet Giosue Carducci (1815-1907) was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Literature in 1906. He is remembered in Italy as
the country's foremost poet of the last half of the nineteenth
century, the voice and conscience of the nation in the final
momentous years of its struggle for independence and unity the
culmination of the Risorgimento and in the subsequent years of
the Third Italy. Although he is still studied in the schools and
universities of his country, he has been largely forgotten
outside Italy. Indeed, no editions or major translations of his
poetry have appeared in the English-speaking world for sixty-five
years.~
This selection of fifty-two of Carducci's finest poems, with
facing prose translations, introduction and a concluding section
of commentaries, undertakes to exhibit a broad selection of his
work, including some of his earlier polemical and political
verses, the major pieces which celebrate the Italian landscape,
with their classical, historical and autobiographical
reminiscences, and the love-poetry of both traditional and
neo-hellenic inspiration. The anthology opens with Carducci's
most controversial poem A Satana, and draws thereafter from the
three major books of his verse: Giambi ed Epodi (Iambics and
Epodes), Rime nuove (New Rhymes), and the Odi barbara (Barbarous
Odes); the latter including the greatest of his technical
achievements in unrhymed alcaic, sapphic and other classical
metres. Spanish text with facing-page translatin, introduction,
commentaries and notes. 272p (Aris & Phillips 1994)
