Modelling knowledge as revelation and theology as poetry, this
powerful new reading of the Vita nuova not only challenges Dante
scholars to reconsider the book's speculative emphases but also
offers the general reader an accessible yet penetrating exploration
of some of the Western tradition's most far-reaching ideas
surrounding love and knowledge. Dante's 'little book', included in
full here in an original parallel translation, captures in its
first emergence the same revolutionary ferment that would later
become manifest both in the larger oeuvre of this great European
writer and in the literature of the entire Western canon. William
Franke demonstrates how Dante's youthful poetic autobiography
disrupts sectarian thinking and reconciles the seeming contraries
of divine revelation and human invention, while also providing the
means for understanding religious revelation in the Bible.
Ultimately, this revolutionary unification of Scripture and poetry
shows the intimate working of love at the source of inspired
knowing.
