Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from IL Tramonto di un Re: Dramma Storico in Quattro Atti in Versi
Fin che Omero Sofocle e Virgilio nell'et� pagana e Dante e Shakespeare nella cristiana rimangono i grandi poeti delle genti quando nella travagliosa civilt� nostra, a rappresentare di essa le idee pi� speciali e proprie, il Goethe e lo Shelley chiedono al medioevo e all' an tichit�, pi� assai che i simboli, le forme; non pu�, credo, esser recata in dubbio la superiorit�, in poesia, della rappresentazione del passato.
