Dante's Vita Nuova and the New Testament: Hermeneutics and the Poetics of Revela

Description: Dante's Vita Nuova and the New Testament by William Franke Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Dantes visionary grounding of knowledge in love and divine revelation still moves and inspires a wide readership. As well as offering new perspectives on the Vita nuova for medievalists and Dante scholars, this book also introduces the general reader to ideas that continue to inject Western culture with new life. Publisher Description Modelling knowledge as revelation and theology as poetry, this powerful new reading of the Vita nuova not only challenges Dante scholars to reconsider the books speculative emphases but also offers the general reader an accessible yet penetrating exploration of some of the Western traditions most far-reaching ideas surrounding love and knowledge. Dantes little book, included in full here in an original parallel translation, captures in its first emergence the same revolutionary ferment that would later become manifest both in the larger oeuvre of this great European writer and in the literature of the entire Western canon. William Franke demonstrates how Dantes youthful poetic autobiography disrupts sectarian thinking and reconciles the seeming contraries of divine revelation and human invention, while also providing the means for understanding religious revelation in the Bible. Ultimately, this revolutionary unification of Scripture and poetry shows the intimate working of love at the source of inspired knowing.
