[PU: University of Notre Dame Press], 339 p. Softcover. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Guter Zustand / In good condition. - The Vita nuova, Dante Alighieri’s first major work and the earliest autobiography in any vernacular literature, is a revolutionary document in Western civilization’s development of vernacular poetry and concepts of love. Written between 1292 and 1295, during the poet’s late twenties, the Vita nuova consists of 31 poems inspired by the historical but idealized and mythologized Lady Beatrice. It also contains Dante’s prose commentaries on the poems, which describe his dreams, imaginings, visions, and encounters that gave the recorded verses their occasion and meaning. Because the love inspired by the Florentine Beatrice’s perfections exercised a formative and lifelong influence on Dante’s spiritual and poetic calling, the Vita nuova is an important precursor to Dante’s last and greatest poetic work The Divine Comedy. Knowledge of the Vita nuova is essential for a proper understanding of many vital elements and accomplishments in Dante’s masterpiece, such as the Commedid’s autobiographical completion of the protagonist’s lifelong journey toward Beatrice, its bringing to culmination the poet-lover’s power to draw upon the visionary, and its fulfillment of the youthful Dante’s moral, intellectual, linguistic, and poetic dedication to a transcendent literary achievement that addresses all humanity. This bilingual edition of the Vita nuova—the first facing-page translation of this text to be available in over 50 years—contains Michele Barbi's 1932 Italian edition and an English translation by Dino S. Cervigni and Edward Vasta. Cervigni and Vasta have translated Dante’s lyrics into line-by-line free verse that seeks, despite metrical differences, to reproduce Dante’s lyrical complexities of meaning, form, and style. The three-part introduction covers Dante’s life and work, the form and content of the Vita nuova, and the theory and practice adopted for the translation. A full concordance with glossary of the Italian text and a detailed index to the English translation will assist Dante s, DE, [SC: 4.50], gebraucht; gut, gewerbliches Angebot, [GW: 523g], Banküberweisung, Offene Rechnung, PayPal, Internationaler Versand<
