Vita Nuova by Dante Alighieri

I read the Dante Gabriel Rossetti translation, which is translated into poetry, and not a literal transcription. 
Some readers complain about the amount of exposition/explanation the author gives his own poems, but for those unfamiliar with reading medieval poetry, it’s helpful for understanding. I do agree that this is the work of an immature lovesick whiner, but an important read if you’re getting into Dante or medieval Italian poets.
