A unique treatise by a poet, written for poets, on the art of poetry, LA VITA NUOVA is elaborately and symbolically patterned, consisting of a selection of Dante''s early poems, interspersed with his own prose commentary.
The poems themselves tell the story of his love for Beatrice, from their first meeting at a May Day party in her father''s house, through Dante''s sufferings and his attempts to conceal the true object of his devotion by the use of ''screen-loves'', to his overwhelming grief ather death, ending with the transformative vision of her in heaven. These are some of the richest love poems in literature and the movement from self-pitying lament to praise for the beloved''s beauty and virtue, illustrate the elevating power of love.
