Dante's Vita nuova and the New Testament

Dante's visionary grounding of knowledge in love and divine revelation still moves and inspires a wide readership. As well as offering new perspectives on the Vita nuova for medievalists and Dante scholars, this book also introduces the general reader to ideas that continue to inject Western culture with 'new life'.
