Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy "has, despite its enormous
popularity and importance, often stymied readers with its
multitudinous characters, references, and themes. But until the
publication in 2007 of Guy Raffa's guide to the" Inferno," students
lacked a suitable resource to help them navigate Dante's
underworld. With this new guide to the entire "Divine Comedy,"
Raffa provides readers--experts in the Middle Ages and Renaissance,
Dante neophytes, and everyone in between--with a map of the entire
poem, from the lowest circle of Hell to the highest sphere of
Paradise.
Based on Raffa's original research and his many years of
teaching the poem to undergraduates, "The Complete""Danteworlds"
charts a simultaneously geographical and textual journey, canto by
canto, region by region, adhering closely to the path taken by
Dante himself through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. This
invaluable reference also features study questions, illustrations
of the realms, and regional summaries. Interpreting Dante's poem
and his sources, Raffa fashions detailed entries on each character
encountered as well as on many significant historical, religious,
and cultural allusions.
