It is a story that reaches across decades, to the son of Vita, who would travel as far as Italy to find his roots and the man who could have bee

La Vita Nuova marked a turning point in European literature, introducing personal experience into the strict formalism of medieval love poetry.

La Vita Nuova (1292–94) has many aspects. Dante’s libello, or “little book,” is most obviously a book about love. In a sequence of thirty-one poems, the author recounts his love of Beatrice from his first sight of her (when he was nine and she eight), through unrequited love and chance encounters, to his profound grief sixteen years later at her sudden and unexpected death.

Through these commentaries the poet comes to see romant

From the author of The Land, this poem is a much more personal and symbolic offering. Set against the backdrop of war, the seasons in the garden represent the seasons of life.
