Flaming Heart

Here, in his own translations and in original English versions of his own, Professor Praz has gathered many important essays central to his life s work, in a continuous study of the vital currents which have flowed between two cultures, the English and the Italian.

The classic writers of Italy Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Ariosto, Tasso, and others are studied in their effects on English literature."
