La Vita Nuova
''La Vita Nuova'' (; modern Italian for "The New Life") or ''Vita Nova'' (Latin and medieval Italian title ) is a text by Dante Alighieri published in 1294. It is an expression of the medieval genre of courtly love in a prosimetrum style, a combination of both prose and verse. History and context Referred to by Dante as his ''libello'', or "little book," ''La Vita Nuova'' is the first of two collections of verse written by Dante in his life. The collection is a '' prosimetrum'', a piece containing both verse and prose, in the vein of Boethius' '' Consolation of Philosophy''. Dante used each ''prosimetrum'' as a means for combining poems written over periods of roughly ten years—''La Vita Nuova'' contains his works from before 1283 to roughly 1293. The collection and its style fit in with the movement called '' dolce stil novo''. The prose creates the illusion of narrative continuity between the poems; it is Dante's way of reconstructing himself and his art in terms of his ...
