Synopsis
The Story Of Rimini: A Poem by Leigh Hunt. This narrative poem, in four cantos, reimagines the Dantean episode of Francesca da Rimini within the late 13th-century Italian setting of Ravenna and Rimini. Hunt builds a courtly world around the betrothal of Guido's daughter to Giovanni Malatesta, and traces the secret passion that grows between Francesca and Paulo, Giovanni's brother. The poem follows the bride's awakening to love in a landscape of pageantry and gilded power, and its devastating consequences as jealousy, pride, and conflicting loyalties drive the lovers toward a fatal decision. The tale culminates in a duel and a double death, after which the couple are laid to rest together, their story becoming a whispered legend in Rimini. The poem also includes Hunt's Preface and dedication, outlining his approach to versification, language, and a revival of a natural English voice in narrative verse. The Story Of Rimini was first published in 1816.
