Gabriele D’Annunzio (1863–1938), a major figure in modern Italian literature, published his first volume of poetry in 1879 and went on to write numerous novels, short stories, plays, autobiographical works, and further volumes of poetry. Stephen Sartarelli, an award-winning translator and poet, has published more than twenty books of translation from Italian and French and three volumes of poetry. He lives in France.
“[A] remarkably interesting work. . . . Sartarelli’s superbly
readable translation, presented here along with his illuminating
explanatory notes and a helpful preface by Virginia Jewiss that
sets text and author alike in historical and cultural context,
provides everything that readers unable to engage with Notturno in
the original Italian could possibly need.”—S. Botterill, Choice
“A supple English translation. . . . [Notturno] was D’Annunzio’s
entry into the steam-of-consciousness sweepstakes, his most openly
modernist work, admired by many, including Hemingway. . . .
Notturno is D’Annunzio’s last major contribution to
literature.”—Jonathan Galassi, New Republic
