The collection opens with his Introduction to the \u003cem\u003eRime\u003c\/em\u003e of Dante, a text he wrote in 1938 that has remained a point of reference for Dantean exegesis ever since. It is followed by a close reading of a famous sonnet from \u003cem\u003eLa vita nuova\u003c\/em\u003e; a portrait of Dante as both character and poet in the Divine Comedy; an essay on Dante's relevance to our times; a comprehensive critical survey he calls \"One Interpretation of Dante\"; a methodological analysis titled \"Philology and Dantean exegesis\"; a \"guide\" to the poetry of Cavalcanti, to his relations with Dante, and to his presence in the Divine Comedy; and close readings of two Cantos of the Divine Comedy, Inferno III and Paradiso XXVIII. A series of commentaries on specific questions concludes the volume, which stands as an ideal introduction to the Dantean universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gianfranco Contini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946328316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946328311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Agincourt Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.66d","brand":"Gianfranco Contini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965705306367,"sku":"9781946328311","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ff47e7b-0dae-4806-922a-0be985fb9e06.jpg?v=1767284239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-idea-of-dante-gianfranco-contini-9781946328311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
