Book Description
Cavalcanti is a key figure in the development of Italian poetry, and a fascinating character in the shadow of his contemporary and friend Dante Alighieri. Cavalcanti also has an interesting place in the cannon of English poetry, where he was an important influence on two of his famous translators Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ezra Pound.

Book Description
For critics like John Ruskin and Walter Pater, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1892) was one of the great creative figures of the day, a painter and a poet of major stature. Yeats and the young Pound regarded him as an exemplary figure of solitary dedication to art and beauty. He called the sonnet 'a moment's monument', and his best short lyrics are instants of oppressed emotion cut free of time. In this, as in the suggestiveness of his imagery, he anticipates the French Symbolists. He can also be regarded as the founder of modern verse translation, not only for the freshness of his versions but also for his choice of poets---Villon, Cavalcanti and the young Dante. In this selection, Clive Wilmer has made a personal choice, emphasizing the 'pure poetry' of the lyrics at the expense of the more conventionally Victorian monologues and narratives. He has also included a generous selection from the translations, and provided a biographical and critical introduction.

Book Description
Ezra Pound revised the contents for this edition, including the translations and the introduction. In this book, Ezra Pound tried to bring over the qualities of Guido's rhythm, not a line for line, but to embody in English some trace of that power which implies the man. The science of the music of words and the knowledge of their magical powers has fallen away since men invoked Mithra by a sequence of pure vowel sounds.

Book Description
The thirteenth-century Tuscan poet Guido Cavalcanti helped to create a new poetry that belonged to the city rather than the court, and through his use of Tuscan vernacular gave an extraordinary intensity and craft to his explorations of the social and psychological dimensions of love. Peter Hughes has taken Cavalcanti's groundbreaking poems and used them as springboards for his own creative versions. Following in the footsteps of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who translated Cavalcanti for the nineteenth century, and Ezra Pound, who translated him for the twentieth, Peter Hughes invites us to consider Cavalcanti's lustrous Tuscan songs afresh. 'Peter Hughes's vulgar eloquence fuses earthy, contemporary imagery with Cavalcanti's "elevated" elusive themes, converting his verses to an utterly original contemporary language ... and affording exquisite, tactile pleasure.' Lou Rowan // 'What an erotic and libidinous bonanza ... These are the songs my ears are still ringing to, tinnitus the price of love.' Simon Smith // 'enough vim and versatility to launch a thousand poems, let alone fifty-two. Purists will object vigorously to this version; impurists will object vigorously to any other.' Rod Mengham // 'This coruscating and athletic détournement of the Italian is an audacious and seductive display that leaves us wanting more.' John James
