Book excerpt: Collected here for the first time are all of Dante's "minor" works, ranging from a semi-autobiographical treatise on poets and affective philosophy (the Vita nuova) to an essay in language and literary aesthetics (the De vulgari eloquentia). Together, the writings illuminate the poet's unparalleled imaginative power and unmistakable spiritual energy, and provide insight into his place in romance literature.
