A collection of Dante Alighieri's "Canzoniere" that charts his poetic evolution and displays the ground on which his "Vita Nova" and "Divine Comedy" developed. This collection of Dante Alighieri's "Canzoniere", translated for the first time in its entirety into English, charts his poetic evolution and displays the ground on which his "Vita Nova" and "Divine Comedy" developed.Inspired in his early poems by troubadour love poetry, Dante would later come to master all the genres of the time, such as the canzone, the sonnet and the ballad. At the same time deeply personal - dealing with themes of love, death and exile - and imbued with the poetic and political context of the period, "Dante's Rime", presented in dual Italian and English text and rendered by prize-winning translators Anthony Mortimer and J.G. Nichols, offers a fascinating glimpse into the imagination of arguably the greatest writer of all time.

Escrito por Dante Alighieri
(Florencia, 1265 - Rávena, 1321). Miembro de la burguesía güelfa, discípulo de Brunetto Latini, desterrado de su ciudad natal en 1302 a consecuencia de las rencillas entre las dos facciones de los güelfos, autor de diversas obras en lengua latina, debe su fama a su producción en lengua vulgar, y particularmente a su Commedia, a la que dieron los exégetas el sobrenombre de Divina.
