Guido Cavalcanti is a key figure in the early development of
Italian poetry along with his younger friend Dante Alighieri.
Cavalcanti is also essential to the course of modernist poetry in
English, influencing among others Ezra Pound and Louis Zukofsky.
'The Selected Poetry of Guido Cavalcanti: A Critical English
Edition' provides the best introduction in English to this medieval
Italian poet. The selection of annotated verse translations
includes the famous 'Donna me prega' and the correspondence sonnets
to Dante. 'Simply the best translations of Cavalcanti I have ever
seen. [...] A considerable contribution to our understanding of
Duecento Italian literature.' Robin Kirkpatrick, Professor of
Italian and English, University of Cambridge, and translator of
Dante, The Divine Comedy.
