I promessi sposi, ; Manzoni's first version of this story was written between April 1821 and September 1823 and titled Fermo e Lucia. He then heavily revised and finished it as Gli sposi promessi in August 1825; after two years of corrections and proof-checking, it was first published as I promessi sposi in 1827. Manzoni afterwards revised this into the dialect of Florence for the final revision published in 1842. English quotations and page-numbers are taken from the translation of Archibald Colquhoun (1956), unless otherwise indicated. ยท The Betrothed (1834), as published by Richard Bentley (en) |
