He learnt from Wordsworth, Hugo, and, above all, from Edgar Allan Poe and the French Symbolists; his poetic aim was to accept, as his beloved Leopardi had done, the problems posed by the science of his day, but to avoid Leopardi's pessimistic conclusions by a belief in human nature that found practical expression in his ardent socialism. He died in 1912.' (Quote from inside dustwrapper blurb). ***Printed on cream laid quality paper.
