Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive English translation and commentary on Dante's early verse to be published in almost fifty years, Dante's Lyric Poetry includes all the poems written by the young Dante Aligheri between c. 1283 and c. 1292. Essays by Teodolinda Barolini guide the reader through the new verse translations by Richard Lansing, illuminating Dante's transformation from a young courtly poet into the writer of the vast and visionary Commedia. Barolini's commentary exposes Dante's lyric poems as early articulations of many of the ideas in the Commedia, including the philosophy and psychology of desire and its role as motor of all human activity, the quest for vision and transcendence, the frustrating search for justice on earth, and the transgression of boundaries in society and poetry. A wide-ranging and intelligent examination of one of the most important poets in the Western tradition, this book will be of interest to scholars and poetry-lovers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was the author of the famous Divine Comedy. Less well known today, however, are Dante's lyric poems and treatises. His lyric production comprised more than 120 poems in diverse forms (canzoni and sestine, sonnets, and ballads, written between around 1283 and 1315). He gathered 31 of his poems in his Vita Nuova (The New Life, early 1290s) and then commented on three of his canzoni in the unfinished Convivio (The Banquet, ca. 1304-1305). These works represent the first, fundamental stage of his literary career. Not only these 'minor' works made Dante well-known as a vernacular poet before he began writing the Commedia, but for two centuries they were also among the most read works in Italian literature. The rich holdings of Oxford libraries allow us to reconstruct the main channels through which Dante's lyric production has circulated from the fourteenth century to the contemporary era. The wide variety of books in the collections belonged to a diverse set of readers throughout the whole of Europe. In Oxford we can find preserved not only unique objects, but also the legacies of scholars such as Edward Moore and Paget Toynbee who studied Dante and gathered precious manuscripts and early printed editions. The digital exhibition Dante's Lyric Poetry in Oxford (https: //www.cabinet.ox.ac.uk/dantes-lyric-poetry-oxford), prepared by Laura Banella within the MSCA project LyrA - Lyric Authority: Editing and Rewriting Dante's Lyric Poetry (14th-16th c.), shows the 'other Dante' - the vernacular Dante outside of the Commedia - as portrayed by manuscripts, and early modern and contemporary editions preserved in Oxford. It presents to a broad public all the manuscripts (from the 14th to the 16th century) and the early printed editions (1491-1727) preserved at the Bodleian Library and at the Taylor Institution Library which contain Dante's lyric poems. A third section, dedicated to the editions of Dante's lyric poetry spanning the period from the 1820s to the 1930s, is but a selection of works from the Taylor Institution Library's vast collection of modern Dantean editions. What is more, the exhibition displays books owned by Oxonian scholars, along with materials testifying to their work as curators of Dante's oeuvre. This catalogue accompanying the exhibition collects the entries describing each manuscript and each printed edition, along with a presentation of the selection of modern editions. Each section of the catalogue is introduced by a short educational essay.
Download or read book Dante s Style in His Lyric Poetry written by Patrick Boyde and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very close and clear description of Dante's style in those lyric poems, which can be dated with reasonable confidence. Dr Boyde explains the nature and objective of his analyses in the substantial introduction which does not assume any previous knowledge of the poems or of modern stylistic theory. He has three principal aims: first, to relate the style of the poems to medieval rhetorical teaching; secondly, to assess the degree of Dante's stylistic originality by comparison with the style of earlier medieval authors; and thirdly, to provide an accurate detailed description of the many developments in Dante's style over a period of twenty years. Close attention is paid throughout to the frequency and distribution of the features described, and there is abundant quotation of examples. The book will have a considerable theoretical interest to all those concerned with the analysis of the style of literature from the past.
Download or read book The Complete Lyric Poems of Dante Alighieri written by Dante Alighieri and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation of Dante's lyrics follows the Barbi format and contains 118 poems. It seeks to follow the central issue of Dante's aesthetic: championing vernacular poetry. Dante relied on his vernacular and so these translations rely on the common language of today's speech, free verse, and open form, so as to give English readers an experience of Dante that is as contemporary to us as his poetic moment was to him. The original Italian appears on the facing pages of the text.

Download or read book Dante the Lyric and Ethical Poet written by Zygmunt G. Bara'nski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book presents the proceedings of the fifth meeting of the International Dante Seminar. As with previous volumes, the proceedings also include a carefully edited account of the extensive discussions which followed the presentations. The papers, given by some of the leading international scholars of the poet - from Italy, the UK and the USA - address four major topics of particular concern to present-day Dante studies: Dante as a lyric poet; Dante as an ethical poet; Dante and the Eclogues; and Dante in nineteenth-century Britain. These topics reflect both areas which are currently the subject of heated critical debate (several editions of the lyric poems are in preparation, and the ethical dimension of Dantes works is very much under discussion) and areas which are long overdue a reassessment (Dantes remarkable revival of Latin pastoral poetry, and the extraordinary British contribution to Dante studies in the nineteenth century). As this set of conference proceedings makes clear, in Dante and in his legacy, ethics and poetry are inseparable. The contributors include Paola Allegretti, Michael Caesar, Paolo Falzone, Manuele Gragnolati, Claudio Giunta, Claire Honess, Robin Kirkpatrick, John Lindon, Lino Pertile, Justin Steinberg, Claudia Villa, and Diego Zancani."
Download or read book Vita Nova written by Dante Alighieri and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recepient, 2013 Guggenheim Fellowship Dante’s Vita Nova (circa 1292–1295) depicts the joys and sorrows, the discoveries and conflicts of Dante’s early love for Beatrice—who would achieve later and even greater fame in Commedia—starting with his first sighting of her and culminating in his prevision of Beatrice among the beatified in heaven. Award-winning translator and poet Andrew Frisardi channels the vigor and nuance of Dante’s first masterpiece for a modern audience. The “little book,” as Dante calls it, consists of thirty-one lyric poems—mostly sonnets—embedded in a prose narrative, which both recounts an apparently autobiographical set of events also evoked in the poems and offers analysis of the poems’ construction in the medieval critical tradition of divisio textus, or division of the text. Dante selected poetry he had written before age twenty-eight or so and wrote the prose to shape it into a story. The poems anthologize Dante’s growth as a poet, from the influence of his earliest mentors to the stylistic and thematic breakthroughs of his poetic coming-of-age. The interplay of poetry and prose in Vita Nova, along with the further distinction in the latter between autobiography and critical divisioni, presents a particular challenge for any translator. Frisardi faithfully voices the complex meter and rhyme schemes of the poetry while capturing the tone of each of the prose styles. His introduction and in-depth annotations provide additional context for the twenty-first-century reader.

Download or read book Dante s Lyric Redemption written by Tristan Kay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante's Lyric Redemption offers a re-examination of two strongly interrelated aspects of the poet's work: the role and value he ascribes to earthly love and his relationship to the Romance lyric tradition of his time. It argues that an account of Dante's poetic journey that posits a stark division between earthly and divine love, and between the secular lyric poet and the Christian auctor, does little justice to his highly distinctive and often polemical handling of these categories. The book firstly contextualizes, traces, and accounts for Dante's intriguing commitment to love poetry, from the 'minor works' to the Commedia. It highlights his attempts, especially in his masterpiece, to overcome normative oppositions in formulating a uniquely redemptive vernacular poetics, one oriented towards the eternal while rooted in his affective, and indeed erotic, past. It then examines how this matter is at stake in Dante's treatment of three important lyric predecessors: Guittone d'Arezzo, Arnaut Daniel, and Folco of Marseilles. Through a detailed reading of Dante's engagement with these poets, the book illuminates his careful departure from a dualistic model of love and conversion and shows his erotic commitment to be at the heart of his claims to pre-eminence as a vernacular author.
