A history of Italian literature

In this fascinating book, written by a British Library librarian, Richard Garnett, the author leads readers to explore the magnificent written works hailing from Italy. Aside from the revered Dante Alighieri and his La Divina Commedia to the influential Niccolo Macchiavelli and his Il Principe, the book also introduces us to Italian writers whose names the world is not yet familiar with, such as the satirist Luigi Alamanni and the novelist Giovanni da Prato.
