Poetry in Dialogue in the Duecento and Dante provides a new
perspective on the highly networked literary landscape of
thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy. It demonstrates the
fundamental role of dialogue between and within texts in the works
of four poets who represent some of the major developments in early
Italian literature: Guittone d'Arezzo, Guido Guinizzelli, Guido
Cavalcanti, and Dante. Rather than reading the cultural landscape
through the lens of Dante's works, significant though they may be,
the first part of this study reconstructs the rich network of
literary, especially poetic dialogue that was at the heart of
medieval writing in Italy. The second part uses this reconstruction
to demonstrate Dante's engagement with, and indebtedness to, the
dynamics of exchange that characterised the practice of medieval
Italian poets. The overall argument-for the centrality of dialogic
processes to the emerging Italian literary tradition-is underpinned
by a conceptualisation of dialogue in relation to medieval and
modern literary theory and philosophy of language. By triangulating
between Brunetto Latini's Rettorica, Mikhail Bakhtin's 'dialogism',
and as sense of 'performative' speech adapted from J. L. Austin,
Poetry in Dialogue shows the openness of its corpus to new
dialogues and interpretations, highlighting the instabilities of
even the most apparently fixed, monumental texts.
