Sasha Newborn (BirdieQ) | 12 comments Another unfortunate mashup of my Bandanna Books book with some other publisher's information. The ISBN 9780942208092 is mine. Publication in 1993 is correct. However, the title is not exactly the same, and the description belongs to some other publisher's edition. Also no cover picture is supplied. Please make these changes, or set the permissions so I can make them.

New cover:

Title:
Dante and His Circle, Including Dante's Vita Nuova

Description:
This abridged edition of Dante and His Circle (originally published by the translator Dante Gabriel Rossetti) is primarily limited to the poetry of love, omitting the political and military poetry. With the other poets, most of whom he knew, Dante Alighieri was creating the first national modern Romance language. He and his friends abandoned the meter of Latin for the rhyme of Italian, the street language that people of Tuscany actually spoke. Here are the poets in the book:
Giani Alfani, Dante Alighieri, Cecco Angiolieri, Simone dell’ Antelle, Giovanni Boccaccio, Bernardo da Bologna, Onesto di Boncima, Giotto di Bondone, Terino da Castel Fiorentino, Guido Cavalcanti, Dino Compagni, Forese Donati
Dino Frescobaldi, Lapo Gianni, Guido Guinicelli, Dante da Maiano
Guido Orlandi, Cino da Pistoia.
Notable are the inclusion of Giotto, Boccaccio, Cavalcanti, and Cino da Pistoia.
In the editing, some Victorianisms were modernized, unless required for rhyme.

Editor (A.S. Ash was an early anagram of "Sasha"):
Sasha Newborn

Translator:
Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Sandra | 31511 comments Sasha, here is the book. I've made the title the same as the cover so "with" instead of "including".
