A new, beautifully laid-out edition of Alessandro Manzoni's classic historical epic, originally published in 1827 as I promessi sposi.

The Betrothed is also well-known for its remarkable account of the Italian Plague of 1629-1631, and the devastating impact the epidemic had on Milan.Considered to be the most famous and widely read novel in the Italian language, this English edition is based on the unattributed English language translation published by printer Richard Bentley in 1834.
