{"product_id":"the-poetry-of-dantes-paradiso-jeremy-tambling-9783030656300","title":"The Poetry of Dante's Paradiso: Lives Almost Divine, Spirits That Matter","description":"This book argues that \u003ci\u003eParadiso\u003c\/i\u003e - Dante's vision of Heaven - is not simply affirmative. It posits that \u003ci\u003eParadiso \u003c\/i\u003ecompensates for disappointment rather than fulfils hopes, and where it moves into joy and vision, this also rationalises the experience of exile and the failure of all Dante's political hopes. The book highlights and addresses a fundamental problem in reading Dante: the assumption that he writes as a Catholic Christian, which can be off-putting and induces an overly theological and partisan reading in some commentary. Accordingly, the study argues that Dante must be read now in a post-Christian modernity. It discusses Dante's Christianity fully, and takes its details as a source of wonder and beauty which need communicating to a modern reader. Yet, the study also argues that we must read for the alterity of Dante's world from ours. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Tambling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030656306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030656300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.73d","brand":"Jeremy Tambling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052787233023,"sku":"9783030656300","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98b1f840-ae00-4cc2-b92a-e56433c74b7c.jpg?v=1685020748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetry-of-dantes-paradiso-jeremy-tambling-9783030656300","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
