Books by Guido Cavalcanti

Bringing his genuine poetic gifts to the project, Slavitt's translations provide stronger evidence of the originals' poetic qualities than has been available for at least a century. - Henry Taylor, Pulitzer Prize winner

The book aims to be the most useful and engaging introduction to the medieval Italian poet Guido Cavalcanti in English.

Anthony Mortimer, acclaimed for his versions of Petrarch and Michelangelo, provides a new verse translation complete with notes, critical comment and biographical material: following in the footsteps of Rossetti and Pound he presents a Cavalcanti who speaks for his own time and to ours.
