Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines literary comparisons in medieval Italian poetry, specifically the lyrical descriptions of ladies as angels, flowers, gold, or light. The author takes a particularly close look at similes from the Dolce Stil Nuovo, comparing and contrasting these depictions with those from earlier Sicilian and Provencal schools of poetry. The author suggests that the Dolce Stil Nuovo poets, such as Dante and Guido Cavalcanti, demonstrated originality and depth in their depictions of women, idealizing them in a way that went beyond mere physical beauty and characterized them as intellectually and morally superior to other women. This study provides insight into the development of the representation of women in literature and the unique contributions of the Dolce Stil Nuovo to that development, shedding new light on a significant period in literary history.
