Dante in Love: Dante Alighieri's 'A New Life' Reinterpreted

Dante in Love is a modern re-telling of the immortal love story of Dante and Beatrice. The power and beauty of their original story of unrequited love shines through with new insights and accessible prose. A Love Story for the Ages."The mixing of the two voices, the translator and the explicator, works wonderfully. A winner, very good stuff, really." Giuseppe Mazzotta, Sterling Professor in the Humanities for Italian, Yale University."I just kept on reading it right through even though I had read the original many times. Anthony Valerio's version really makes it new.--Rebecca West, William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Service Professor Emerita, University of Chicago.
