La Vita Nuova (Vita Nova - The New Life) (Hardcover) (Hardcover)

La Vita Nuova - in English The New Life - is a poem by Dante Alighieri which expresses the virtues of Medieval courtship and love. First published in 1295 during the dawn of the Italian Renaissance period, this work discusses the praiseworthy aspects of courtship which first appeared during the Medieval era. Dante was a great admirer of this practice, feeling that the tradition elevated both love and courteous behaviour in a manner befitting an experience of such emotive depth. This translation of the original Italian into English by William Michael Rossetti has, since its original appearance in 1899, become well-regarded by scholars and general enthusiasts of Italian literature. Readable as well as accurate, this edition also contains the original insightful notes which Rossetti appended to his rendition.
