Excerpt from The Great Poets of Italy Together With a Brief Connecting Sketch, of Italian Literature The body of this book formed the second pat of a volume on the Latin and Italian poets, prepared, in collaboration with Professor F. J. Miller, of Chicago University, for the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (1901-1902). In rearranging this material for a wider public, two new chapters have been added, while extensive changes have been made in the rest of the book. Being in Italy when the chapters on Dante were written, I found myself unable to procure a copy of Rossetti's or Norton's translation of the "New Life," and was thus obliged to make my own version of the passages quoted from that work. I desire to thank the following publishers for their courtesy in allowing me to use the various translations quoted in this book: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. (Longfellow's translation of the "Divine Comedy"), D. Appleton & Co., Dodd, Mead & Co., John Lane, F. A. Stokes Co., Harper & Brothers.
