Dante Alive - Essays on a Cultural Icon (Hardcover)

This volume collects original essays from a wide range of international scholars in the field of Dante Studies. All essays address the current persistence of Dante's presence in contemporary popular culture. Studied fields are as varied as the visual arts, the music scene (independent as well as experimental rock and pop music), film, theater and television productions (both high-brow and commercial), the political rhetoric of American and European personalities, commercial advertisements, video- and boardgames. The volume offers a large number of previously unpublished illustrations reacting to the Divine Comedy. The collection expands the scope of previous scholarship on the topic and updates the critical approach. It balances cutting-edge scholarly research with helpful insights and tools for teaching Dante in a variety of contexts. All source material is made available in English translation.
