- Abstract:
- This article identifies the Augustinian motive of peregrinatio (pilgrimage/exile) as fundamental to the Vita nova, both thematically and at the level of narrative structure. Although Dante himself would not experience banishment from Florence in 1302, this early work establishes him as a vernacular poet whose authority stems from a marginal and provisional social position.
