Excerpt from Sordello's Story: Retold in Prose The scene of "Sordello" is laid in Lombardy, in the early part of the thirteenth century, when Frederick II. is Emperor, and Honorius III. Pope. It is needful that we should have some knowledge of the political and social condition of Italy at that period, if we wish to enter into the spirit of the poem, to enjoy its historical allusions or be able in any way to comprehend the problems that vexed Sordello's soul.
