Synopsis
Excerpt from Ein Kampf Um Rom
He makes our sympathetic interest center especially round the Goths, this most gifted of all the Germanic peoples, in regard to whom Hodgkin says in his Italy and her Invaders, The preservation of the Gothic kingdom would have helped forward the civilization of Europe by five centuries, and would perhaps have contributed something towards the softening and en nobling of human life even at the present day.
Their short glory in Italy and their tragic fate Dahn has made the life-pulse of his powerful novel.
In selecting episodes for publication from this work, care has been taken to leave out as little as possible of that part of the novel which treats of the tragedy, the life and customs of the Goths.
