Dante's unfinished work, the Convivio, his first book written in
exile, is often overlooked. This volume, instead of promoting the
idea that Dante's career evolved continuously from the youthful
Vita nova through to the Commedia, takes the Convivio as Dante's
first attempt to reassemble and reshape the remains of his
Florentine past - from his love poetry to his philosophical
readings - in order to construct a new way of defining himself as a
writer after 1302. Contributors to the volume explore the Convivio
from a variety of different angles, including the issue of genre,
the relationship between poetry and prose and Dante's concept of
the reader, as well as examining the importance of ideas such as
nobility, the vernacular and Roman law.
