Studies in the Poetry of Italy, Part II. Italian

"Studies in the Poetry of Italy, Part II. Italian" by Oscar Kuhns is a study that examines the development of Italy's unique literary works, with probable dating around the early 1900s. The study pays close attention to the beginnings of writing in Italy and the important authors who created it, with specific emphasis on poets such as Dante and Boccaccio and understanding the literary customs that came before them. Kuhns makes clear the delayed arrival of a distinct Italian collection of works, which began in the 1200s, in contrast to earlier written works in France, at the beginning of the book. He looks into the effect of Latin while also bringing attention to the role of musicians and poets from Italy in the past. The beginning chapters are a basis for further analysis of major literary figures and shifts, leading to a bigger understanding of Italy's literary history.
