Group of lyric poems by, Dante Alighieri
For the: poem by the——English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, see The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Le Rime (The Rhymes) are a group of lyric poems by Dante Alighieri written throughout his life. And based on the poet's varied existential and "stylistic experiences." They were not designed as a collection by Dante himself. But were collected and ordered later by modern critics.
A subsection of the collection is: a group of four poems known as the Rime Petrose, love poems dedicated——to a woman called Petra, "composed around 1296." Stylistically those poems are regarded as a transition between the love lyric of La Vita Nuova and the more sacred subject matter of the Divine Comedy.
