Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Fair. 1st Edition. This is the 1940 First Edition of "Madrigals & Odes from Petrarch" (the great 14th century Italian poet) as translated by Helen Lee Peabody, with a Preface by Giuseppe Prezzolini. The book was published by Loker Raley in New York. While the dust-jacket, which is seldom accompanying the book, is somewhat rough in condition, it has done its duty, protecting the book from undue wear. Morris Bishop, who was Professor of Romance Languages at Cornell University, had this to say about this book : "It is very exciting to read a new translation of Petrarch. The translations seem to me in every way excellent.They can stand alone as poems, without the guarantee of Petrarch's words, printed on the facing pages. But for the reader who delights in poetry, it is a constant pleasure to look from the right-hand page to the left and back again, to savor at ease the great thoughts of Petrarch in the two great languages." Said Prof. Clarence Whittlesey Mendel of Yale University : " These sympathetic renderings of Petrarch are what every translator in verse would like to create ; they are interpretations of one age and race to another, but they are also distinguished poetry in their own right." And lastly, John Hall Wheelock (Harvard graduate, poet, senior editor at Scribner's) spoke thusly: " Helen Lee Peabody's charming translations from Petrarch are always skillful, and sometimes achieve that miracle of transmutation, which is the hope of every translator."
