Dante on View opens an important new dimension in Dante studies:
for the first time a collection of essays analyses the presence of
the Italian Medieval poet Dante Alighieri in the visual and
performing arts from the Middle Ages to the present day. The essays
in this volume explore the image of Dante emerging in medieval
illuminated manuscripts and later ideological and nostalgic uses of
the poet. The volume also demonstrates the rich diversity of
projects inspired by the Commedia both as an overall polysemic
structure and as a repository of scenes, which generate a
repertoire for painters, actors and film-makers. In its original
multimediality, Dante's Commedia stimulates the performance of
readers and artists working in different media from manuscript to
stage, from ballet to hyperinstruments, from film to television.
Through such a variety of media, the reception of Dante in the
visual and performing arts enriches our understanding of the poet
and of the arts represented at key moments of formal and structural
change in the European cultural world.
