by PATRICK BOYDE ,
Lecturer in Italian in the University of Cambridge
The book tells of the events which concerned Dante's love for Beatrice. Thus the prose ' interprets the total significance of Dante's first ten years as a poet,' the love-story told in the poetry. Dante has expressed 'a unique complex of experiences in a unique form in such a way that it is universally accessible.'
