Graziella, Lamartine called this lost girl in his poetry and memoirs-and also in Graziella, a novel that closely follows the story of his own romance."When I was eighteen," the narrator begins, as if penning his memoir, "my family entrusted me to the care of a relative whose business affairs called her to Tuscany." The tale that unfolds, of the young mans amorous experiences amid the natural grandeur and subtle splendors of the Italian countryside, is one of the finest works of fiction in the French Romantic tradition, a bildungsroman that is also a melancholy portrait of the artist as a young man discovering the muse who would both inspire and elude him.Remarkable for its contemplative prose, its dreamy passions and seductive drawing of the Italian landscape, and its place in the Romantic canon, Graziella is a timeless portrait of love, chronicling the remorse and the misguided ideals of youth that find their expression, if not their amends, in art. Author Biography Alphonse de Lamartine (17901869) is best known as Frances preeminent Romantic poet and, in later life, as a progressive politician who advocated for the abolition of slavery and freedom of the press.Raymond N. MacKenzie is professor of English at the University of St. Thomas and translator of Jules Barbey dAurevillys Diaboliques and Stendhals Italian Chronicles, both published by Minnesota.
