Dante's Rime (The Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation) - Hardcover

Dante's Rime. Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation.

Zustand: Gut. 267 Seiten / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Spanning the years from the early 1280s until about 1308, this collection of poems contains Dante's juvenilia as well as his more mature work prior to the Divine Comedy. Patrick Diehl's translation is the first in fifty years to offer in a single volume the bulk of Dante's shorter poetry. The collection, omitting only those poems Dante incorporated into the Vita nuova, contains several masterpieces of medieval poetry and gives us a fascinating look at the poet's development as it relates to the Comedy. -- With an ambitious adherence to Dante's original rhythms and rhymes, Professor Diehl aims at an idiomatic yet slightly "distanced" English. His translation follows the text of the Rime in Foster and Boyde's Dante's Lyric Poetry ( Oxford ) , Volume I, and he bases his notes on their commentary in Volume II. -- Dante experimented widely with a variety of poetic forms. From the mannered style fashionable in his adolescence he moved to the dolce stil novo that banished political and moral themes in favor of a concentration on love. Yet in the rime petrose of his pre-exilic works love becomes dark, devastating, and obsessive. In his later poems Dante deals with moral themes or the laws of love. The canzone that ends the Rime incorporates elements of all prior periods and returns to a view of love that, years ago, Dante apparently had left behind.
