Dante's work has fascinated readers for seven hundred years and has
provided key reference points for writing as diverse as that of
Chaucer, the Renaissance poets, the English Romantics, Tennyson and
the Pre-Raphaelites, American writers from Melville through to
Eliot and Pound, Anglo-Irish Modernists from Joyce to Beckett, and
contemporary poets such as Heaney and Walcott. In this volume,
Jeremy Tambling has selected ten recent essays from the mass of
Dante studies, and put the Divine Comedy - Dante's record of a
journey to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - into context for the
modern reader. Topics such as Dante's allegory, his relationship to
classical and modern poetry, his treatment of love and of
sexuality, his attitudes to Florence and to his contemporary Italy,
are explored and clarified through a selection of work by some of
the best scholars in the field. An introduction and notes help the
reader to situate the criticism, and to relate it to contemporary
literary theory. In this anthology, Dante's relevance to both
English and Italian literature is highlighted, and the significance
of Dante for poetry in English is illuminated for the modern
reader. This book provides students of English literature and
Italian literature with the most comprehensive collection of
important critical studies of Dante to date.
