Produktbeschreibung
"La Vita Nuova" marked a turning point in European literature, introducing personal experience into the strict formalism of medieval love poetry. The sequence of poems tells the story of Dante's passion for Beatrice, the beautiful sister of one of his closest friends, transformed through his writing into a symbol of love that was both spiritual and romantic. From unrequited passion to the profound grief he experiences at the loss of his love, this work intersperses exquisite verse with Dante's own commentary on the structure and origins of each poem, offering a unique insight into the poet's art and skill. Barbara Reynolds's translation, acclaimed for its lucidity and faithfulness to the original, is now enhanced with a new introduction and other material.
A selection of the author's early poems, interspersed with his own prose commentary. It tells the story of his love for Beatrice, from their first meeting at a May Day party in her father's house, through the author's sufferings, to his overwhelming grief at her death, ending with the transformative vision of her in heaven.
