The essays in this volume probe current critical assumptions about the celebrated Italian poet, literary theorist, moral philosopher, and political theorist. Dante's attitude towards poetic authority and language comes under scrutiny in several essays, while others examine his political thought and his views on women and gender. Several articles focus exclusively on the \u003cem\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e, and, in particular, on its distinctive textual characteristics. There are new readings of two of the \u003cem\u003eDivine Comedy's\u003c\/em\u003e most important episodes - those of \u003cem\u003ePaolo and Francesca\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eEarthly Paradise\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e - whose significance extends far beyond their immediate contexts. These essays bring into focus Dante's bold narrative innovations and reflections on literature and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amilcare Iannucci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802077366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802077363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.08w x 0.94d","brand":"Amilcare Iannucci","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120237048063,"sku":"9780802077363","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d534754-425c-403e-aa2c-c29d42249b2a.jpg?v=1687413237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dante-contemp-perspectives-amilcare-a-iannucci-9780802077363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
