This book represents a major re-assessment of Dante's Inferno, and
of the place which the Inferno occupies in the plan of the whole
Commedia. On evidence drawn also from the Paradiso and Purgatorio,
Dr Kirkpatrick argues that Dante's thinking and poetry are subject
to far greater internal tension than is commonly supposed. He then
proceeds to analyse each of the thirty-four cantos of the Inferno,
and to relate each canto in turn to its thematic and narrative
context. Throughout, Dr Kirkpatrick is particularly concerned with
features of language and structure which scholars have tended to
overlook in emphasising the philosophical character of Dante's
poetry. And while he chooses, for the sake of clarity, to write in
the accessible language of interpretative criticism, he continually
stresses the extent to which advances in modern critical practice
may usefully be brought to bear upon Dante's writing.
