This volume includes the completed illustrations for Dante's Inferno, which cast the viewer as a first-person pilgrim through the underworld. These illustrations combine the artist's deep cultural and historical understanding of the text and its artistic legacy with her unique talent for collage and printmaking. With their unique perspective and visual language, Owen's illustrations prompt us to rethink Dante's poem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Owen's work, held in the Bodleian Library and published here for the first time, illustrates the complete cycle of thirty-four cantos of the \u003ci\u003eInferno\u003c\/i\u003e, with one image per canto. In essays contextualizing Owen's work, Fiona Whitehouse provides details of the techniques employed by the artist, Peter Hainsworth situates Owen's work in the field of modern Dante illustration, and David Bowe offers a commentary on the illustrations as gateways to Dante's poem. Jamie McKendrick and Bernard O'Donoghue's translations of episodes from the \u003ci\u003eInferno \u003c\/i\u003eprovide complementary artistic interpretations of Dante's poem, while reflections from colleagues and friends commemorate Owen's life and work as an artist, scholar, and teacher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851245707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851245703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bodleian Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 9.40w x 0.70d","brand":"David Bowe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047646458111,"sku":"9781851245703","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f925400-df4b-4835-bf3a-b39415248ff2.jpg?v=1684991414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rachel-owen-david-bowe-9781851245703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
