COUNT VITTORIO ALFIERI
16 JANUARY 1749 - 8 OCTOBER 1803
ITALIAN DRAMATIST - THE "FOUNDER OF ITALIAN TRAGEDY"
THERE IS ITALIAN TEXT ON THE BACK
Italian tragic poet and playwright. Through his lyrics and dramas he helped revive the national spirit of Italy.
After a period of travel in which he experienced English political liberty and read the works of Montesquieu
and other French writers, he left the military and began writing. His tragedies almost always present the
struggle between a champion of liberty and a tyrant. Of the 19 tragedies that he approved for publication in an
edition of 1787 - 89, the best are Filippo, Antigone, Oreste, Mirra, and his masterpiece, Saul, often
considered the most powerful drama in the Italian theatre. His autobiography (1804) is his chief prose work
