Description
Book SynopsisWritten between 1292 and 1295, the
Vita Nuova consists of 31 poems inspired by the historical but idealised and mythologised Lady Beatrice. This bi-lingual edition contains Michael Barbi's 1932 Italian edition plus an English translation.
Trade Review“Cervigni and Vasta are to be complimented for their laborious and successful undertaking. This edition will be extremely useful, for it presents us with a version of the Vita nuova that will open up new interpretive and pedagogical avenues.” —Italica
“Whatever reputation this translation will gain for its scholarly accomplishments, its excellent overall design, and general ease of use is sure to reclaim a large body of lay readers and experts alike to this lesser known of Dante’s major works.” —Crisis
“An important contribution for Dante specialists.” —Library Journal
“Students and scholars of Dante and medieval philology will find much to ponder in the material so painstakingly assembled here.” —Choice
