Combining medieval history, food studies, and literary criticism, \u003ccite\u003eDante's Gluttons\u003c\/cite\u003e historicizes food and eating in Dante, beginning in his earliest collected poetry and arriving at the end of his major work. For Dante, the consumption of food is not a frivolity, but a crux of life, and gluttony is the abdication of civic and spiritual responsibility and a danger to both the individual body and soul, as well as the greater collective. This book establishes how one of the world's preeminent authors uses the intimacy and universality of food as a touchstone, forging a community bound by a gastronomic language rooted in the deeply human relationship with material sustenance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danielle Callegari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463720421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463720427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Danielle Callegari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945883435263,"sku":"9789463720427","price":121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_741f018d-88d6-46f6-aabc-4ab8ade736c0.jpg?v=1681510299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dantes-gluttons-danielle-callegari-9789463720427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
