| Publisher Description: The only edition to present the complete love poems by Dante Alighieri, with lyrics from "Vita Nuova," "Rime," and" Convivio" Dante is known to most readers outside Italy for his gritty descriptions of the Inferno, but there is another, gentler side to his poetry, which found expression throughout his career in verses that made him, together with his friend Guido Cavalcanti, the leading love poet of his generation. From the ballads and rime of his youth to the heart-rending lyrics written on the death of Beatrice and the more sober, philosophical canzoni of his later years, this volume provides the only English edition of the great Florentine's complete love poems, in striking verse translations by Dante specialists J. G. Nichols and Anthony Mortimer. |
