"Barbarossa in Italy" presents a verse translation of the "Carmen
de gestis Frederici I imperatoris in Lombardia." This Latin poem
describes the conflict leading up to April of 1162 when Frederick I
Hohenstaufen, the German emperor, destroyed Milan in an attempt to
impose his rule on the emerging urban republics of northern Italy.
The issues, personalities, and events that led up to this
catastrophe are the subjects of this unfinished verse epic written
by an anonymous citizen of Bergamo shortly after the events. With a
vivid eye for the horrors of battle and siege, his knowing
portrayal of Frederick's conflicted emotions, and his use of
classical figures and dream vision, the "Bergamo Master" shows a
respect for his classical antecedents while staying faithful to the
modes and personalities of his age. In concise and modern English
verse Professor Carson provides the reader with a fresh view of
this monumental struggle between imperial authority and an age of
cultural revival, local freedoms, and new loyalties. Ilustrated,
map, introduction, notes, bibliography.
