Dante's best friend and a major exponent of the dolce stil novo,
Guido Cavalcanti has had a lasting influence upon Italian poetry
and is best known to English readers through the essays,
translations and adaptations of Ezra Pound. Born from the cultural
ferment of thirteenth-century Florence, Cavalcanti's poetry is an
extraordinary blend of unorthodox philosophy, sharp psychological
insight and dazzling formal mastery. Anthony Mortimer, acclaimed
for his versions of "Petrarch" and "Michelangelo", provides a new
verse translation complete with notes, critical comment and
biographical material: following in the footsteps of Rossetti and
Pound he presents a Cavalcanti who speaks for his own time and to
ours.
