Abstract

Dante and the poetics of vision
 Dante’s Vita Nuova is not only an account of a young man struggling for love; it is also a recollection of a series of dreams or visions, which accordingly have a more profound sense. In the Divine Comedy, Dante appears as the visionary who after having seen Heaven and Hell is striving to forward his vision to whom it may concern. His work is marked by the desire to transcribe images into words, and this gives us the opportunity to study the rhetorical procedures which bestow legitimacy unto a work of art.
