"La Vita Nuova (1292-1294) has many aspects. Dante's libello, or "little book," is most obviously a book about love. In a sequence of thirty-one poems, the author recounts his love of Beatrice from his first sight of her (when he was nine and she eight), through unrequited love and chance encounters, to his profound grief sixteen years later at her sudden and unexpected death. Linked with Dante's verse are commentaries on the individual poems--their form and meaning--as well as the events and feelings from which they originate. Through these commentaries the poet comes to see romantic love as the first step in a spiritual journey that leads to salvation and the capacity for divine love. He aims to reside with Beatrice among the stars." "David Slavitt gives us a readable and appealing translation of one of the early, defining masterpieces of European literature, animating its verse and prose with a fluid, lively, and engaging idiom and rhythm. His translation makes this first major book of Dante's stand out as a powerful work of art in its own regard, independent of its "junior" status to La Commedia. In an Introduction, Seth Lerer considers Dante as a poet of civic life. "Beatrice," he reminds us, "lives as much on city streets and open congregations as she does in bedroom fantasies and dreams.""--BOOK JACKET.

Le 700e anniversaire de la mort de Dante, en 2021, a vu se multiplier les initiatives scientifiques, et plus largement culturelles, liées au poète florentin dans le monde entier.Le Centre d’études supérieures de la Renaissance de Tours a également souhaite contribuer à la célébration du poète en poursuivant une tradition vivante et féconde d’études dantesques, dépassant l’espace chronologique ‒ de Pétrarque a Descartes ‒ indique pour le Centre depuis sa création en 1956 et ainsi confirmant, si besoin était, le rôle de Dante en tant que classique au-delà des frontières et des bornes temporels et critiques.Ces Lectures, loin de renouer avec la tradition des Lecturae Dantis traditionnelles, ont été imaginées avec la volonté de présenter un échantillon, certes restreint mais varie, d’un certain nombre de pistes de recherche sur Dante qui sont parcourues par les chercheurs ces dernières années. Les dix contributeurs, de formation et de provenance de tout horizon ‒ Luigi Spagnolo, Anthony de Araujo-Rousset, Maria Maślanka-Soro, Gaia Tomazzoli, Luigi Tassoni, Raffaele Pinto, Franziska Meier, Alessandro Benucci, Francesco Ciabattoni, Bruno Pinchard ‒, en sont le temoignage. L’ambition de ces lecturae, fut-ce sur une petite echelle, etait de montrer que différentes façons de lire Dante existent.
