Summary

These translations of the major poems of Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) render into modern English verse the work of a writer who is widely regarded as the greatest lyric poet in the Italian literary tradition. In spite of this reputation, and in spite of a number of nineteenth- and twentieth-century translations, Leopardi's poems have never 'come over' into English in such a way as to guarantee their author a recognition comparable to that of other great European Romantic poets.
