Zusatztext A book that reveals the lives of two great Florentines, not one Informationen zum Autor Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-75) is one of the most famous authors in Italian literature. A proto-humanist writer and scholar, his works include On Famous Women, Decameron and poetry in the Florentine vernacular. Klappentext Life of Dante brings together the earliest accounts of Dante available, putting the celebratory essay of literary genius Giovanni Boccaccio together with the historical analysis of leading humanist Leonardo Bruni. Their writings, along with the other sources included in this volume, provide a wealth of insight and information into Dante's unique character and life, from his susceptibility to the torments of passionate love, his involvement in politics, scholastic enthusiasms and military experience, to the stories behind the greatest heights of his poetic achievements. Not only are these accounts invaluable for their subject matter, they are also seminal examples of early biographical writing. Also included in this volume is a biography of Boccaccio, perhaps as great an influence on world literature as Dante himself. Zusammenfassung Life of Dante offers fascinating everyday details, while also exploring the true nature of Dante's poetic life.

Zusammenfassung

Life of Dante offers fascinating everyday details, while also exploring the true nature of Dante's poetic life.

Bericht

They don't write biographies like this any more, unfortunately: extremely short, poetic and funny, and quite wonderfully unconcerned with trivia. The Guardian
