«I would have gone down on my knee before him if we were allowed to worship men.» With these words Giuseppe Verdi described his first impulse upon meeting Alessandro Manzoni in Milan in June 1868. Many readers are familiar with Manzoni's great novel, The Betrothed (I Promessi Sposi), the work that elicited Verdi's extravagant reverence for its author. Before turning to write a novel, however, Manzoni composed two plays, The Count of Carmagnola (1820) and Adelchi (1822). Both plays broke free of the constraints of the neo-classical stage, and embraced the spirit of the new Romantic drama. Alessandro Manzoni, Two Plays makes these tragedies available in a fresh English translation.

"Now, translator Federica Brunori Deigan presents lyrical English-language versions of these two tragedies which, taken together, dramatize the first two epochs in Manzoni's "history of Italy." (The Betrothed completes the triptych, illustrating the period of Spanish domination.) Long unavailable in English, The Count of Carmagnola and Adelchis are distinguished by their dramatic power and thematic gravity. Manzoni considers the interactions of Christian morals and Machiavellian politics through deft psychological portraiture, ultimately revealing the course of history as a fabric woven by individuals free will according to a logical pattern of actions and reactions, within the vaster providential plan, that human eyes can only dimly perceive."--BOOK JACKET.

“The first English translation in more than fifty years of Alessandro Manzoni’s masterpiece, a work of foundational Italian literature on par with the Divine Comedy and the Decameron.”—The Wall Street Journal “An exemplary historical novel” (The New Yorker) from the father of modern Italian literature, The Betrothed receives its first new English-language translation in fifty years, hailed as “a landmark literary occasion” by Jhumpa Lahiri. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker The Betrothed is a cornerstone of Italian culture, language, and literature. Published in its final form in 1842, The Betrothed has inspired generations of Italian readers and writers. Giuseppe Verdi composed his majestic Requiem Mass in honor of Manzoni. Italo Calvino called the novel “a classic that has never ceased shaping reality in Italy” while Umberto Eco praised its author as a “most subtle critic and analyst of languages.” The Betrothed has been celebrated by Primo Levi and Natalia Ginzburg, and is one of Pope Francis’s favorite books. But, until now, it has remained relatively unknown to English readers. In the fall of 1628, two young lovers are forced to flee their village on the shores of Lake Como after a powerful lord prevents their marriage, plunging them into the maelstrom of history. Manzoni draws on actual people and events to create an unforgettable fresco of Italian life and society. In this greatest of historical novels, he takes the reader on a journey through the Spanish occupation of Milan, the ravages of war, class tensions, social injustice, religious faith, and a plague that devastates northern Italy. But within Manzoni’s epic tale, readers will also hear powerful echoes of our own day. Michael F. Moore’s dynamic new translation of The Betrothed brings to life Manzoni’s timeless literary masterpiece.

Winner of the Bagutta Prize, The Manzoni Family set in ducal Italy and post-revolutionary France, captures the story of Alessandro Manzoni—celebrated Milanese nobleman, man of letters, and author of the masterpiece of nineteenth-century Italian literature, I promessi sposi (The Betrothed)—and the women of his life. The dynastic tale begins with the matriarchal figure of Giulia, the mother whom the young Alessandro Manzoni found in Paris after she had abandoned him as an infant. Following her, there is Enrichetta, the woman he and his mother chose to be his wife, and the many children she had by him until her death; literary friends from the beau monde in Italy and Paris; and Alessandro's second wife, Teresa, and her children. Against the background of Napoleonic occupation, the reestablishment of Austrian hegemony, and the stirrings of the revolutionary urge for unification and independence, Ginzburg gracefully weaves the story of the Manzoni dynasty, a family that seems to grow autonomously around the life of the writer, effortlessly incorporating the epic tumult and emotion of the age. Ginzburg explores this fascinating true story and celebrated author with the elegance that has assured her rightful place among history’s acclaimed literary titans.

The great European writer Alessandro Manzoni, 1785-1873, known primarily for his masterful novel I promessi sposi (The Betrothed), remains relatively unknown and insufficiently appreciated outside the rather narrow confines of Italian studies. Yet, his artistic and theoretical contributions to the Romantic debate and to Western literature were important ones, and influential throughout Europe. The seventeen studies collected in this book analyze and assess Manzoni's divers literary roles: poet, dramatist, novelist, linguist, historian, religious thinker, aesthetic theorist. The articles are written in English, and all quoted Italian passages are also given in English translation. Thus, the book offers the English reader who may not be acquainted with this very important writer an introduction to the beauty, the richness, and the complexity of his wide-ranging writings. And yet, all the articles are original, never-before-published contributions on specific aspects of Manzoni studies which will be of interest to Manzoni scholars everywhere. The contributors (Jean-Pierre Barricelli, Larry H. Peer, Sante Matteo, Murray R. Low, Roberto Severino, Robert A. Hall, Jr., Gregory Lucente, Alfonso Procaccini, Stelio Cro, Clareece Godt, Steven C. Hughes, Massimo Verdicchio, S.B. Chandler, Franco Triolo, and Steven Sondrup) hail from different disciplines - Italian studies, comparative literature, history, linguistics - and include widely recognized experts on Manzoni as well as new voices in the field.
