The Barbarian Odes of Giosue Carducci Translated by William Fletcher Smith, with Editorial Assistance from Lucile Bayer Clark and Loretto W. Harris A collection, in 49 pages with a short Prelude by the Translator, of Carducci's "Odi Barbare", translated into English. Contains certain obvious printer's errors, noticeable for frequency in a volume this size, financed by Smith. Poems originally published in Italian between 1873-1889, and are split into three 'Books'. Themes are typically focused on the ancestral, the glory of Rome and Italy, the poets Dante and Homer, and similar subjects. A working knowledge of Classical myths and history is valuable, as no notes are provided.
