(John Addington) The Sonnets of Michael Angelo Buonarroti and Tommaso Campanella; Now for the First Time Translated into Rhymed English Produced by Ted Garvin, Carol David, Tom Allen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Sonnets of Michael Angelo Buonarroti and Tommaso Campanella; Now for the First Time Translated into Rhymed English" by John Addington Symonds is a collection of poetry written during the late 19th century. This work, which includes sonnets by two of Italy's most significant historical figures, explores themes of beauty, philosophy, and the artistic spirit, juxtaposing the lives and thoughts of Michelangelo, a towering figure of the Renaissance, and Campanella, a philosopher enduring the hardships of imprisonment during the Counter-Reformation. At the start of this volume, Symonds introduces his translation of Michelangelo's sonnets, emphasizing the poet's devotion to beauty in art and the philosophical undercurrents of his emotions, particularly in reference to love and mortality. The opening highlights the contrasting environments of both poets: Michelangelo, celebrated within the artistic communities of Renaissance Italy, and Campanella, whose reflections emerged from the isolation of a dungeon. The introductory sections outline the complexities of translating these sonnets, considering the challenges of conveying their depth in English while maintaining their original rhythm and rhyme, setting the stage for an engaging exploration of both poets' artistic legacies.
