MONTI, Vincenzo. Verse. Parma, Stamperia Reale, 1787. Two parts bound in a 4to volume; 225x150 mm; hardback binding. Vol. I: pp. [26], 106; Vol. II: [12], 99, [1]. Frontispieces with intaglio vignette. Slight flourishes on some pages. Good copy in beards and wide margins. The collection of "Verses" is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to the Marchioness of Matallana née Lady Conock; the second to Don Luigi Braschi Onesti, nephew of Pius VI.The present edition contains, included here for the first time in the collection, the ode Al Signor di Montgolfier and the canzonetta La fecondità (which appeared in 1784 and 1786, respectively) and, in the original edition, the canzonetta Amor vergognoso (in Part Two). As in other exemplars (thus not due to bookbinder's error) Bodoni's notice to readers and Monti's dedication to Pius VI were inserted after the poem "La bellezza dell'Universo".Gamba, 2618; Bustico, nos. 4 and 5; Brooks, 331; Giani, catalog of authentic Bodoni editions, no. 30; Zumbini, 241-2. In addition, "Against England." Autograph poem signed by Vincenzo Monti.Ms., [1802]. One page in 8vo; 218x137 mm. Elegant handwriting in brown ink. At end signature: "V. Monti." On laid paper with watermark. Good conservation. The sonnet, written in 1802, was published in 1803 under the title "To England." This manuscript version contains, in addition to the attenuated title, eight variants from the published sonnet: "l'erba la terra, instead of "erba la terra"; "Pel sentier de' ladron," instead of "Per la via de'"; "esci alla guerra.", instead of "go out to war!"; "Stagion verrà", instead of "Tempo verrà"; "Se pur stanco", instead of "Se stanco"; "Quel tuo di sangue", instead of "Questo di sangue"; "e tu, briaca e cruda", instead of "e tu, feroce e cruda". We can assume, therefore, that this is an early version, later reworked by the Author. Andrea Penso: "The fiercest attack conducted by Monti toward England dates back to 1803, the year of publication of the sonnet All'Inghilterra. The text constitutes a violent invective directed at Great Britain, guilty, according to the poet, of having broken the Treaty of Amiens. In fact, both countries involved were unhappy with the results of the treaty, and both blamed each other for its breach. Monti, after all, did not mind an accurate reconstruction of events, and indeed immediately wrote these verses to support Napoleon's cause. Once again, the words used by the poet are extremely harsh and violent, to the point that they would be reused during fascist propaganda in the 20th century against England.
