The Treatment Of Nature In Dante's Divina Commedia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162954769)

""The Treatment of Nature in Dante's Divina Commedia"" by L. Oscar Kuhns is a critical analysis of the role of nature in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, ""The Divine Comedy"". The book explores the ways in which Dante uses natural imagery and symbolism to convey his theological and philosophical ideas, as well as his political and cultural views. Kuhns examines the various types of natural landscapes and phenomena that Dante encounters in his journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, and shows how they reflect Dante's understanding of the natural world and its relationship to the divine. The book is intended for scholars and students of Italian literature, medieval studies, and environmental philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of nature and spirituality in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
