Description:Contents: (1) Courtly Love and Sacred Love in the Vita Nova: In his youth, Dante was part of an avant-garde of Florentine poets who combined scholastic philosophy and metaphysics with the traditional themes of courtly love poetry, as part of a research into the philosophy of beauty and the "intellect of love." Dante went much further in this exploration than any of the other poets with whom he was associated, creating a poetry of divine love, or theologized courtly love, which maintains that one divine reality underlies all desire, whether "romantic" or spiritual. This lecture traces Dante's development of this insight as it is depicted in the poetry and prose of the Vita Nova, and indicates how it carries over into Dante's later work, including the Divine Comedy. (2) Beatrice: At the beginning of the Vita Nova, Dante refers to Beatrice as "the glorious lady of my mind"--a description that Counter-Reformation editors, alarmed by Dante's theologizing of courtly love and not understanding how to read his language of analogy, changed to "the graceful lady of my mind," In the course of this visionary work of Dante's youth, Beatrice is also likened to Christ and is said to be "a creature who has descended from heaven to earth in order to show a miracle." This lecture explores what Dante meant by depicting Beatrice in this manner, and how the Vita Nova, which has been called the "Book of Beatrice," prepares the way for Beatrice's appearance in the Divine Comedy as a manifestation of Sapienza or Wisdom.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
