Description

This English edition of Alfieri's tragedies gives an account of the European success of the work of the poet from Asti, who had only been dead for two years at the time of the publication of the three volumes. The editor is the professor of languages ​​and belles lettres Antonio Morucci, who publishes as an introduction to the texts two articles in English published in April and July 1805 in the Monthly Magazine "to give the reader genuine information respecting the moral and literary character of Count Alfieri, and the present state of Tuscan literature in Italy". Maffei's Merope and Monti's Aristodemo are added to Alfieri's 15 tragedies. The binding and typographical appearance of the three volumes are very elegant.
