ALIGHIERI DANTE; TRANSLATED BY SLAVITT DAVID R.; INTRODUCTION BY LERER SETH
La Vita Nuova
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2014. Softcover. Brand new book. La Vita Nuova 1292-94 has many aspects. Dante's libello or "little book" is most obviously a book about love. In a sequence of thirty-one poems the author recounts his love of Beatrice from his first sight of her when he was nine and she eight through unrequited love and chance encounters to his profound grief sixteen years later at her sudden and unexpected death. Linked with Dante's verse are commentaries on the individual poems�their form and meaning�as well as the events and feelings from which they originate. Through these commentaries the poet comes to see romantic love as the first step in a spiritual journey that leads to salvation and the capacity for divine love. He aims to reside with Beatrice among the stars. David Slavitt gives us a readable and appealing translation of one of the early defining masterpieces of European literature animating its verse and prose with a fluid lively and engaging idiom and rhythm. His translation makes this first major book of Dante's stand out as a powerful work of art in its own regard independent of its "junior" status to La Commedia. In an Introduction Seth Lerer considers Dante as a poet of civic life. "Beatrice" he reminds us "lives as much on city streets and open congregations as she does in bedroom fantasies and dreams." David R. Slavitt is a poet and the translator of more than ninety works of fiction poetry and drama. Seth Lerer is Dean of Arts and Humanities and Distinguished Professor of Literature at the University of California San Diego. "The Vita Nuova Dante's first major work of certain attribution is an original and sophisticated creation too often cast aside as little more than a youthful prologue to the Divine Comedy� This handsome English edition of the Vita Nuova is translated by David R. Slavitt and prefaced by an engaging essay by Seth Lerer� Freed from the customary shackles of academic apparatus the poetic quality of its lyrics freshly reinstated the Vita Nuova's signature hybrid texture is here elegantly conveyed."�Tristan Kay The Times Literary Supplement "Some translators have been too academic draining the vigor and wonder from this work but Slavitt's version stays true to the spirit� Considering all the books today about finding one's center in our crazy image-driven culture then La Vita Nuova�especially in Slavitt's version�couldn't be more relevant."�Nick Owchar The Los Angeles Times "Graceful readable and just�David Slavitt's translation is a delicate and surprising achievement. This is another triumph for Slavitt and a treat for the rest of us."�Henry Taylor Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2014 paperback

GRAENING G. O.; FENOLLO DANTE; SLAY MICHAEL E
Cave Life Of Oklahoma And Arkansas: Exploration And Conservation Of Subterranean Biodiversity
University of Oklahoma Press Norman: . Softcover. Brand new book. Speleobiology the study of cave life is a relatively new science. The diversity of species that live in caves springs and aquifers is just beginning to be documented and much of the underground world has yet to be explored. The surveys of cave life reported in this book represent an important step forward in understanding the biodiversity of caves in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The project whose research led to the publication of Cave Life of Oklahoma and Arkansas began in the 1970s as a study of Ozark cavefish and expanded to encompass two states and involve a number of research topics and collaborators. The authors and their team donned snorkeling gear cave suits and climbing harnesses and descended into caves in Oklahoma and Arkansas to study inventory and photograph this hidden world. The result is a comprehensive checklist of the region's cave fauna complete with descriptions of these rare animals' distribution and ecological niches. The cast of characters ranges from familiar and charismatic species such as cave crayfish and gray bats to rare and bizarre fauna such as blind salamanders and cave dung beetles. More than 175 full-color illustrations include stunning never-before-seen photographs from the cameras of Dave Bunnel Tim Ernst and Dant B. Fenolio among others of cave animals�even some newly discovered species. The authors also address conservation of subterranean biodiversity discussing not only threats to cave life such as invasive species resource extraction and habitat loss but also current methods of preservation and protection including legislation land acquisition people management and cave gates. The book's appendices provide a comprehensive cave bibliography and checklists of subterranean animals for each cave. Speleology is critical to science. Subterranean organisms are key indicators of groundwater quality and their adaptations can lead to advances in medicine. Cave Life of Oklahoma and Arkansas advances our knowledge of and can thus help us save subterranean ecosystems�among the world's last frontiers. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: paperback

ALIGHIERI DANTE; BEISNER MONIKA ILLUSTRATIONS
The Divine Comedy
Livio Ambrogio Verona: 2007. Brand New Three Volume Hardcover set in a slip case. This is the Deluxe Version limited to 75 numbered copies which features a folio of all 100 illustrations printed on special paper signed by the artist. Dante's epic poem The Divine Comedy is considered by many to be the most influential piece of Italian literature ever written. This new edition of Dante's great work limited to 500 copies brings together for the first time the three volumes of the Hollander translation considered the best modern translation with the art of internationally recognized illustrator Monika Beisner. The set begins with an introduction by Carlo Carena and a foreword by Academy Award winning actor Roberto Benigni known for his lectures and dramatic recitations of Dante's poem. The work ends with an appreciation by artist Marina Warner entitled "Monika Beisner: Illuminating Stories." Beisner has created 100 detailed paintings of the work for this publication making her the first woman credited with illustrating the entire work. Warner writes "The hundred miniatures took her seven years to complete and the achievement is dazzling. The present volume reproduces her work full-size � with no strokes or drawing visible but a pure glow of dense color applied with brushes so small they consist of a half-dozen sable hairs.� Monika Beisner has been scrupulously loyal to Dante's text rendering gesture and position as described in the poem as well as its unsurpassed precision of spatial geographical and temporal coordinates." Included in this set are all three volumes - Inferno Purgatorio and Paradiso - which are bound in red green and blue cloth respectively and housed in an attractive slipcase.

Dante Alighieri David Robey:
Sound and Structure in The Divine Comedy.
-Oxford University Press 2000-. First edition. x204 pages. Cloth. Fine in fine dustjacket. The importance of sound in poetry is indisputable yet it is not at all an easy subject to discuss and is rarely treated systematically by literary scholars. This book uses a variety of computer-based processes to construct a systematic analytical description of the sounds of Dante's Divine Comedy in the sense of their overall distribution within the text. The description is developed through a comparative treatment of the same features in a range of related texts with a view to defining the distinctive characteristics of Dante's practice; and by a discussion of the function and effect of sounds in the work with special attention to unusually high incidences of particular features. The book is thus both a contribution to the scholarly debate about Dante's poem and an illustration and discussion of the ways in which new electronic technology can be used for this kind of purpose. Taking advantage of the regularity of Italian orthography the book begins by using an almost wholly electronic analysis to study the distribution of vocalic and consonantal phonemes and of assonances and alliterations in the text of the Comedy. This is followed by an extensive discussion of the related topic of rhyme also susceptible of treatment by almost entirely electronic means. The next part of the book deals with rhythmical and metrical structures and as a result has required a much greater element of manual intervention. A full discussion of syllable divisions in the Comedy and related texts is the necessary first step in the treatment of rhythm. This is followed by a discussion of the theoretical problems involved in the definition of accented syllables in verse and the formulation a set of principles for resolving them which are then systematically applied. The outcome is the identification of some distinctive rhythmical tendencies in Dante's work and a discussion of the effect of certain kinds of rhythmical structure in the poem. The final chapter's contribution is broadly contextual describing and discussing the theoretical and methodological starting-points - mainly in Formalism and structuralism - of the numerical analysis with which the rest of the book is concerned. -Oxford University Press, 2000- hardcover
