Jerome Mazzaro examines Dante's Vita Nuova as an artistic correlative to what Dante conceived as an image of himself. Specifically, he explores the structure of the work in relation to medieval views of memory, self, music, form, and interpretation, and against the facts of Dante's life and culture as we have come to know them. Originally published in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Excerpt from Old Truths: Newly Illustrated This is not a pretentious volume. Its principal aim is to incorporate for public use more than three hundred original illustrations which the writer has found useful during a ministry of over thirty years in applying di vine truth to the audiences which he has been privileged to address. His thought is that it will be especially valuable to ministers and teachers of spiritual truth, who are welcome to use the illustrations in their own way. At the same time the truths illustrated are the old truths of the Gospel of Christ, and it is hoped that in their present form. They may be helpful to all Christians. The illustrations are all original, unless in a few in stances the writer's memory has proved treacherous. Where legends, incidents, and historical and scientific facts are used, they are, of course, not original, but the application of them, so far as the writer can remember, has not been suggested by another.

When in his "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot" Pope referred to “this long disease, my life,” his statement was quite literally true, since Pope, in addition to being a dwarf and a hunchback, suffered from many diseases during his lifetime. With technical advice from several physicians, the authors present the first medical case history of the poet. Drawing heavily upon the Correspondence for information about Pope's symptoms, they discuss the effect ill health had on his writings and the prevalence of medical themes in his works. The authors also explore Pope’s interests in astronomy (second only to his obsession with medicine), microscopy, geology, and physics and how they relate to his writings.
