Produced by Eric Eldred, Marc D'Hooghe, David Widger and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Modern Italian Poets; Essays and Versions" by William Dean Howells is a collection of literary essays written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the significant contributors to Italian poetry from the 18th century through the unification of Italy in 1870. Howells pays particular attention to the political and cultural contexts that shaped these poets, presenting a nuanced picture of how their art reflected and influenced the quest for national freedom and identity. The opening of the book introduces the author's motivation for creating this compilation, stemming from studies he began years prior in Italy. Howells acknowledges that while the work may not comprehensively represent Italian poetry from the era, it highlights key figures and their contributions, laying out a timeline etched by literary movements that resonated with the socio-political transformations of the time. The introduction emphasizes a unique characteristic of Italian poetry, which served as an emotional conduit during various political struggles, and sets the stage for more detailed examinations of poets such as Giuseppe Parini and Vittorio Alfieri, establishing both a historical and aesthetic framework for discussions that follow.
