The New Life
Authored by Dante AlighieriDesigned by Sasha Newborn
Translated by Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Dante's putative subject is Beatrice/Love-but the Vita Nuova is really an exercise in poetry: Dante sets the emotional scene for a poem, then he writes the poem, then he explains the
poem's structure, part by part. The work shows what we recognize today as a literary attitude, a critical stance on a piece of writing. His precision
in thinking about how thoughts ought to be organized may seem pedantic, yet this is the mind that later engaged the question of what Hell might look like, and why and how, not from a religious point of view but as an extended imaginative
venture.
