Giovanni Boccaccio, Theseid of the nuptials of Emilia = Teseida delle nozze di Emilia
"The first epic poem written in Italian is the Teseida delle nozze di Emilia (Theseid of the Nuptials of Emilia) by Giovanni Boccaccio, the well-known author of the Decameron. Conceived and composed during the Florentine author's stay in Naples, it combines masterfully both epic and lyric themes in a genre that may be defined as an epic of love. Besides its intrinsic literary value, the poem reflects the author's youthful emotions and nostalgia for the happiest times of his life."--BOOK JACKET.
Historical dramas of Alfred de Musset
Andrea del Sarto and Lorenzaccio, Alfred de Musset's completed Renaissance historical tragedies, are two of the most remarkable representatives of their dramatic genre and period. Lorenzaccio, in particular, has had a powerful influence on twentieth-century French and European drama. These striking new translations by Musset scholar David Sices make them accessible to contemporary English readers and lovers of theater, as well as directors looking for effective dramatic texts to stage.
