"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.
