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.
