This book presents an interesting approach to Dante's Divine
Comedy, drawing on medieval theories of reading and understanding a
text, and comparing them with modern critical theories of
hermeneutics and approaches to the text associated with the work of
Derrida. Dr Tambling rejects any attempt to identify a fundamental
unity of thought in the poem and stresses the importance of
opposition and divergence. This leads him to react against
reductively 'allegorical' readings, and to ask in what way
Christianity can be said to be articulated within the work. This
important interpretation will be of value to all students and
scholars of Dante, as well as to those whose work lies in the
fields of general medieval literature, comparative literature and
critical theory.
