This is the first of my readings of Dante's La Vita Nuova--Chapter I. The translation is by Mark Musa. I will be reading the entire work.

  • I'm looking for the best translation in poetry of La Vita Nuova...Can anyone suggest?

  • @CABEZA872006

    From best to least best. All these are good, but from best to least best it is:

    1. Dante Gabriel Rosetti

    2. Mark Musa or Barbara Renyolds

  • ooo! Italy is here! It's strange to listen the incip of "La vita nuova" of Dante in english, but rather woah! I feel happy seeing that there are some people that apprecciate our literature! thank you! (sorry for possible mistakes! -.-')

  • Yes, sorry about being so long about getting back. I just got a new computer so I am going to start putting more of the work up in the next few weeks.

  • You have a kind tone to your voice!

  • @idealthinker1

  • @mercutiana thanks

  • @LuthienAlexandra Oh!!! good luck!

  • @mercutiana Hi again. I know the italian name is Petrarca, that's actually how we spell it in my country as well. I just finished "La Vita Nouva" earlier today (believe it or not, I read "La Divinna Commedia" first) and now I'm reading "il Canzoniere" and trying to find the perfect sonnets for what I want my essay to show. I hope I don't get too sleepy because I really want to have it done (or at leas to have have some key ideas) by tomorrow.

  • @LuthienAlexandra omg! Yeah, that's one of the most important connection in the medieval Italian litterature! Dante and Petrarca (that's the Italian name ;)) are the fathers of our Litterature. And I simply love them!

    If you want to hear the Commedia in Italian, I recommend you Benigni's public lecture in Florence!

  • @mercutiana are you serious? I'm in my second year of college and I've been studying Dante ever since the first. Now I actually have to make an essay in which I have to connect Dante's Beatrice to Petrarch's Laura. Great poets, both of them.
