This original volume proposes a novel way of reading Dante’s Vita
nova, exemplified in a rich diversity of scholarly approaches to
the text. This groundbreaking volume represents the fruit of a
two-year-long series of international seminars aimed at developing
a fresh way of reading Dante’s Vita nova. By analyzing each of
its forty-two chapters individually, focus is concentrated on the
Vita nova in its textual and historical context rather than on its
relationship to the Divine Comedy. This decoupling has freed the
contributors to draw attention to various important literary
features of the text, including its rich and complex polysemy, as
well as its structural fluidity. The volume likewise offers
insights into Dante’s social environment, his relationships with
other poets, and Dante’s evolving vision of his poetry’s scope.
Using a variety of critical methodologies and hermeneutical
approaches, this volume offers scholars an opportunity to reread
the Vita nova in a renewed context and from a diversity of
literary, cultural, and ideological perspectives. Contributors:
