Description - The New Life by Dante Alighieri

The New Life is the masterpiece of Dante Alighieri's youth, an account of his love for Beatrice, the girl who was to become his lifelong muse, and of her tragic early death. An allegory of the soul's crisis and growth, combining prose and poetry, narrative and meditation, dreams and songs and prayers, this work of crystalline beauty and fascinating complexity has long taken its place as one of the supreme revelations in the literature of love.

Published here in the beautiful translation by the nineteenth-century English poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, The New Life is an inspired poetic re-creation comparable to Edward FitzGerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and a classic in its own right.
