These Translations Of The Major Poems Of Giacomo Leopardi (17981837) 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 Nineteenthand Twentiethcentury 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.By Catching Something Of Leopardi'S Cadences And Tonality In A Version That Still Reads As Idiomatic Modern English (With An Occasional Irish Or American Accent), Leopardi: Selected Poems Should Win For The Italian Poet The Wider Appreciative Audience He Deserves. His Themes Are Mutability, Landscape, Love; His Attitude, One Of Unflinching Realism In The Face Of Unavoidable Human Loss. But The Manners Of The Poems Are A Unique Amalgam Of Philosophical Toughness And The Lyrically Bittersweet. In A Way More Pure And Distilled Than Most Others In The Western Tradition, These Poems Are Truly What Matthew Arnold Asked All Poetry To Be, A 'Criticism Of Life.' The Translator'S Aim Is To Convey Something Of The Profundity And Something Of The Sheer Poetic Achievement Of Leopardi'S Inestimable Canti.
