Source Biblioteca del Gabinetto Scientifico Letterario G.P. Vieusseux (biblioteca circolante 1864-1892) Language 2395 Table Of Contents "The object of this little book is to help the reader to re-construct as far as may be the Florence of Dante, and to gather together whatever is still left in the City that will serve to throw light either on the Divina Commedia or on the history of the Author. In the last chapter an account will be found of the manner in which Florence Repentant has sought — all too late — to reconcile herself to the son who, while living, she so ruthlessly thrust out into the cold world, that lay " fuori," beyond his birthplace."

It would have been wiser if the writer had frankly stated in her preface her indebtedness to some of her English predecessors; but the book shows originality in the skill with which a slight sketch of the poet's life is interwoven with local descriptions of Florence and Ravenna. [...] As a whole the book is singularly free from inaccuracies and unbalanced statements. The Bookman - August 1912 The Academy - 24 August 1912 'Miss Lacy has rendered a great service to lovers of Dante by the publication of this excellent volume and it will take a prominent place among the copious literature devoted to this inexhaustible subject. She has succeeded in revealing the Florence of six centuries ago' The Saturday Review - 31 August 1912 'The Study of Dante has spread so widely that Miss Lacy has been well inspired in writing this book. Even many who are in no sense students of the poet take a more or less interest in his connection with Florence, and will learn a good deal both of the poet and his native city from these pages. Many beginners who desire to make a serious effort to understand the early sorroundings which moulded his character will be helped on their way by its means. This book is clearly not intended for those who have already any deep knowledge of Dante, but what the author has certainly carried out well and thoroughly, and she attempts no fine writing, but tells in a simple style a straightforward story. [...] Those who visit Florence for the first time should find it very useful'.
