Medieval liturgical practice both expressed and helped shape habits
of thought and imagination in ways which were deep and
far-reaching, encompassing embodied, lived experience and the most
sophisticated theological thought. This book argues that Dante, in
common with his contemporaries, saw the liturgical rituals of the
Church as a mode of religious practice which manifested what he
considered to be the central truths regarding the relationship
between God, human beings, and the world. It also shows how Dante's
Commedia engages with medieval understandings of the sacraments, an
idea which has been largely neglected in studies of Dante. Seen in
this way, the poet's engagement with liturgy is central to the
daring and highly original poetic project of the Commedia, shaping
its treatment of time, its engagement with theology, and its
portrayal of the soul's awakening to the condition of creation
itself.
