Professor Cecil Grayson
Article Abstract:
Italian scholar Cecil Grayson graduated in Modern Languages at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, England, in 1947. He obtained a university lectureship in Italian, and came under the influence of fellow lecturer Carlo Dionisotti. They jointly edited the 1949 publication 'The Early Italian Texts'. His main object of research was Leon Battista Alberti, a key figure in the Italian Renaissance. He became particularly closely associated with Florence, Italy, as the literary figures he studied were basically Florentine.
