Description
Dante Alighieri's Vita Nuova is a profound and deeply personal work that explores the nature of love. Composed over several years, this collection of thirty-one poems is linked by a lyrical prose narrative that celebrates and debates the subject of love. The poem tells the story of Dante's meeting with Beatrice and his subsequent "new life" inspired by their encounter. With its critical introduction and explanatory notes, this translation provides a new perspective on a supreme work that has been interpreted in various ways as biography, religious allegory, or meditation on poetry. This edition is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series that has made available a broad spectrum of literature from around the globe for over 100 years.
