by Alessandro Manzoni (Author), Alessandro Manzoni (Author), Sandra Bermann (Translator)
Alessandro Manzoni was a giant of nineteenth-century European literature whose "I promessi sposi" ("The Betrothed", 1928) is ranked with "War and Peace" as marking the summit of the historical novel. This English translation of "On the Historical Novel" reflects the insights of a great craftsman and the misgivings of a profound thinker.
