As Virgil leads Dante through Limbo, the uppermost portion of Hell,
they are joined by four classical poets, and Virgil describes one
of them as "Horace the satirist" ("Orazio satiro," 4:89). This
collection of essays applies the expression to Dante himself in
order to emphasize the satirical elements of his works. Although
Dante is not typically described as a satirist, anyone familiar
with his works will recognize the strong satirical element in his
many writings. By exploring the satiric elements in Dante's
literature, these essays explore the primary literary tool at his
disposal for his prophetic objectives: the castigation of vice.
This collection of essay is the first comprehensive study on Dante
and satire within his entire corpus that has ever been published.
