Autobiography of Vittorio Alfieri, the Tragic Poet

Vittorio Alfieri

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. That this life then may be less bad, somewhat more vera cions, and not less impartial than such a performance, I, who have always been more lavish of deeds than promises, here pledge myself and my reader to write with as little prejudice as is vouchsafed to man; and I do so because after studying myself pretty well, I have found, I think, in me on the whole, a little more good than evil. And if Ihave not perhaps the courage or the indiscretion to reveal all the truth, I shall cer tainly not have the baseness to lie.
