What reading level is Modern Italian Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Foscarini, who, up to the time of hishanging, was an honored servant of the state, and had been ambassadorto France, is obliged, on his part, to undergo all of Jacopo Foscari'stroubles; and I have not been able to see why the poet should havevexed himself to make all this confusion, and why the story of theFoscari was not sufficient for his purpose. In the tragedy there ismuch denunciation of the oligarchic oppression of the Ten in Venice, and it may be regarded as the first of Niccolini's dram...atic appeals tothe love of freedom and the manhood of the Italians.
It is much easier to understand the success of Niccolini's subsequentdrama, _Lodovico il Moro_, which is in many respects a touching andeffective tragedy, and the historical truth is better observed init; though, as none of our race can ever love his country with thatpassionate and personal devotion which the Italians feel, we shallnever relish the high patriotic flavor of the piece. The story issimply that of Giovan-Galeazzo Sforza, Duke of Milan, whose uncle, Lodovico, on pretense of relieving him of the cares of government, hasusurped the sovereignty, and keeps Galeazzo and his wife in virtualimprisonment, the young duke wasting away with a slow but fatalmalady.
