Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE was plenty of room in England for a comprehensive sketch of Italian literature, coming down from Dante to the present day; and, though Mr. Cliffe's review of contemporary poets and prose-writers in Italy is meagre and void of illustration, his book as a whole will serve a good purpose. For the centuries preceding the nineteenth his quotations are ample, and convey a fair idea, at any rate in outline, of the principal poets in successive generations, whilst in the case of Leopardi, who to his own countrymen was in some measure what Keats was to Englishmen, he gives us a profusion of specimens in a metrical rendering. Mr. Cliffe is rather offhand in tracing back the literary ideals of Italy to classical times. He declares that he knows no other instance of a great nation," victorious and dominant over the whole civilized world, humbly sitting as a disciple at the feet of one of her captives, and that not only for a short time, but for the whole course of her intellectual development." This states a familiar commonplace with excessive and not quite legitimate emphasis, which a perusal of Mr. Mackail's survey of "Latin Literature" might have done something to modify. No doubt Niebuhr has said that the true poetry of Rome must be found in her history and in her early legends rather than in the finished productions of her literary poets. But what is the true poetry of Rome? The philosophy of Lucretius, the tenderness of Catullus and Tibullus, the fables and the erotics of Ovid, the lyrics of Horace, the heroics of Virgil and Lucan—to what extent were they humble imitations of the Greek, or anything else than a true outcome of Roman genius and circumstance? If Horace had read Pindar and Alcaeus, and if Virgil had read Homer and Theocritus, it is surely unfair and non-natural to conclude that they owed any of their essential qualities to the poets whom they admired and occasionally imitated. What Mr. Cliffe means by saying that their imitation "destroyed everything in their writings that was spontaneous and redolent of their native soil," we are quite unable to imagine. It is true that the Roman authors were "literary" rather than men of originative genius; but that is a very different thing from the exaggeration which we have quoted. Mr. Cliffe's introductory chapter raises questions of great importance, which could not be adequately treated within the limits of seven or eight pages. The chief value of his manual is as a matter-of-fact outline of Italian writers and their works. —The Education Outlook, Volume 50
