Professor Boitani's latest book explores the areas of the tragic
and the sublime in medieval literature by asking what medieval
texts mean to modern readers. Boitani, who has written widely on
medieval and comparative literature, studies tragic and sublime
tensions in stories and scenes recounted by such major poets as
Dante, Chaucer and Petrarch, as well as themes shared by writers
and philosophers and traditional poetic images. The result is a
learned, stimulating, and wide-ranging volume of studies in
comparative European literature, which takes into account poems
written in English, Italian and other languages, and compares them
with their classical and biblical ancestors as well as with their
modern descendants.
