About This Item
Edinburgh: W. Blackwood; London: T. Cadell, 1823. Hard Cover. 2 p. l., [vii]-lviii, 279, [1] p.; 19 cm. Title continues: "and interspersed with extracts in the same stanza as the original, by William Stewart Rose." Berni recast Boiardo's poem. "Berni undertook the revision of the whole poem, avowedly altering no sentiment, removing or adding no incident, but simply giving to each line and stanza due gracefulness and polish. His task he completed with marvellous success; scarcely a line remains as it was, and the general opinion has pronounced decisively in favour of the revision over the original. " Rose was an intimate of Byron and part of a circle of English italianists. Armorial bookplate of John Croft Deverell. Vg, bound in full leather. Stock#OB958.
