Dante’s Tears proves a poetics of weeping relevant to Dante’s poetry in coincidence with his theological interests celebrated in the Commedia, and seeded in Vita Nuova. It reveals an untold story of Dante and Beatrice, and allows a new code of communication, the key of a hermeneutics of Dante’s text that embraces as a whole religion, politics, physiology, and the poet’s own concerns on matters such as desire and love.
