| Evidence: | Mary Berry, Journal, 4 November 1811: 'In the evening Mrs. Damer and I read Alfieri in Italian -- but what Italian! so stuffed with Tuscanisms, so fraught with words immediately derived from the Latin, that it is hardly to be recognised as the language of Boccaccio, Machiavelli, and other Italian classics.' |
