This collection of Dante Alighieri's "Canzoniere", translated for the first time in its entirety into English, charts his poetic evolution and displays the ground on which his "Vita Nova" and "Divine Comedy" developed.Inspired in his early poems by troubadour love poetry, Dante would later come to master all the genres of the time, such as the canzone, the sonnet and the ballad. At the same time deeply personal - dealing with themes of love, death and exile - and imbued with the poetic and political context of the period, "Dante's Rime", presented in dual Italian and English text and rendered by prize-winning translators Anthony Mortimer and J.G. Nichols, offers a fascinating glimpse into the imagination of arguably the greatest writer of all time.

Product Description
Review
That a small publisher, unsupported by the Arts Council (it received help from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) should bring this to us is, in these depraved and uncertain times, almost miraculous (...). This isn't a scholarly edition: there's no introduction, for instance; you just launch yourself into the work, and that's not a bad way of going about it. There are sufficient notes, giving us references and summaries where necessary, and 11 pages of biography and context at the end, which is plenty. It's also beautifully produced, as you'd expect from this outfit; and it repays endless attention. --The Guardian, Saturday 7 March 2009, Nicholas Lezard "Dante's surprising rhymes"
