FROM THE PUBLISHER - ‘La Vita Nuova is a treatise by a poet, written for poets, on the art of poetry.' This reinterpretation by Barbara Reynolds allows the reader fresh insights into one of the world's greatest romantic poems. As his love for Beatrice develops, Dante (1265-1321) learns to surmount the barriers of medieval poetic convention and to write directly from experience. And in the prose commentary he recalls this experience, and describes its transmutation into poetry. This is, in Dr Reynolds's words, ‘an invitation by Dante to enter his study and stand beside him while he runs a finger down the parchment page of his manuscript'. inventory #28987 ISBN: 0140442162., 0<
