{"product_id":"dantes-golden-legend-mary-alexandra-watt-9780881468083","title":"Dantes Golden Legend","description":"DANTE'S GOLDEN LEGEND examines how the DIVINE COMEDY absorbs and reimagines Dante's early attempts at life-writing, as well as how Dante appropriates and revises various biographical and hagiographical models, using them as vehicles for his own auto-hagiographical project. The COMEDY, Watt contends, presents not only Dante's encyclopedic vision of sacred history but also his own purpose and place within that history. In the COMEDY, just as Dante critiques the lives of others, both saints and sinners, he interprets his own life, and concludes that his is, indeed, the life of a saint, charged with a sacred mission. While there have been numerous analyses of specific autobiographical aspects of the COMEDY, they are fragmentary at best. This book, in contrast, considers how these moments, together with the prophecies woven through the poem, create an overarching narrative structure that reveals Dante's own hagiographical significance, addressing a surprising void in the criticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Alexandra Watt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881468088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881468083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercer University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2022","brand":"Mary Alexandra Watt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044817662207,"sku":"9780881468083","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78283366-d066-4f51-9c5b-636e8a40a022.jpg?v=1684975068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dantes-golden-legend-mary-alexandra-watt-9780881468083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
