Giacomo Leopardi is Italy's greatest modern poet, the first
European writer to portray and examine the self in a way that feels
familiar to us today. A great classical scholar and patriot, he
explored metaphysical loneliness in entirely original and new ways.
Though he died young, his influence was enormous, and it is no
exaggeration to say that all of modern poetry, not only in Italian,
derives in some way from his work.
Leopardi's work is notoriously difficult to translate, and he has
been less well known to English-language readers than his greatness
and influence might suggest. Now Jonathan Galassi, whose
translations of Eugenio Montale have been widely acclaimed, has
produced a strong, fresh, direct version of this essential work
that offers English-language readers a new approach to Leopardi.
Galassi has contributed an informative introduction and notes that
provide a sense of Leopardi's sources and ideas. This is an
essential book for anyone who wants to understand the roots of
modern lyric poetry.
