Description: "Although not the first book to deal with the reception of Dante and Italian literature in British Romanticism, Dante and Italy in British Romanticism is not a reiteration of what has already been explored elsewhere. From the artistic practice of improvisation to the politics of nationalism, the essays in this volume break new ground and significantly extend our understanding of the relations between British and Italian culture"--Provided by publisher.
