This collection of essays by an international group of scholars
offers an account of Dante's reception in a wide range of media:
visual art, literature, theatre, cinema, and music, from the late
eighteenth century through to the early twentieth. It thus explores
various appropriations and interpretations of his works and persona
during the era of modernization in Europe, the United States, and
beyond. It includes work by internationally recognized experts and
a new generation of scholars in the field, and the eighteen essays
are grouped in sections which relate both to themes and regions.
The volume begins and ends by addressing Italy's reception of the
national poet, and its other main sections show how a worldwide
dialogue with Dante developed in France, Britain, Germany, the
United States, Ireland, India, and Turkey. The whole collection
demonstrates how this dialogue explicitly or implicitly informed
the construction, recovery or re-definition of cultural identity
among various nations, regions and ethnic groups during the 'long
nineteenth century'. It not only aims at wide coverage of the
period's voices and concerns, and includes discussion of well-known
writers such as Ugo Foscolo, Giosue Carducci, Mary Shelley, John
Ruskin, George Eliot, Charles Eliot Norton and Ralph Waldo Emerson
- along with a large number of significant but less familiar
figures. It also emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary
and multilingual approach to the subject of Dante and
nineteenth-century nationalism, and it will thus be of interest to
scholars and students in comparative literary and
nineteenth-century studies, as well as to those with a general
interest in cultural studies and the history of ideas.
