Ausiàs March i la «Vita nuova» de Dante

Abstract

This article argues that Ausiàs March read the whole of Dante’s Vita nuova, and that such reading was crucial for him to conceive his 35 poems addressed to Llir entre cards (Dona Teresa d’Híxar) as a poetic cycle. March’s poem XXIII and his reference to Dante in poem XLV are minutely analyzed.RESUM: Aquest article argumenta que Ausiàs March va accedir a la Vita nuova íntegra, i que aquesta lectura fou determinant per a la concepció del cicle de 35 poesies adreçades a Llir entre cards (dona Teresa d’Híxar).
