The twenty-five original essays in this remarkable book constitute
both a state of the art survey of Dante scholarship and a manifesto
for new understandings of one of the world’s great poets. The
fruit of an historic conference called by the Dante Society of
America, the essays confront a range of important questions. What
theories, methods, and issues are unique to Dante scholarship? How
are they changing? What is the essence of the distinctive American
Dante tradition? Why—and how—do we read Dante in today’s
global, postmodern culture? From John Ahern on the first copies of
the Commedia to Peter Hawkins and Rachel Jacoff on Dante after
modernism, the essays shed brilliant new light on Dante’s texts,
his world, and what we make of his legacy. The contributors: John
Ahern, H. Wayne Storey, Guglielmo Gorni, Teodolinda Barolini, Gary
P. Cestaro, Lino Pertile, F. Regina Psaki, Steven Botterill,
Giuseppe Mazzotta, Alison Cornish, Robert M. Durling, Manuele
Gragnolati, Giuliana Carugati, Susan Noakes, Zygmunt Baranski,
Christopher Kleinhenz, Ronald L. Martinez, Ronald Herzman, Amilcare
Iannucci, Albert Russell Ascoli, Michelangelo Picone, Jessica
Levenstein, David Wallace, Piero Boitani, Peter Hawkins, and Rachel
Jacoff.
