Critically engaging the thought of Heidegger, Gadamer, and others,
William Franke contributes both to the criticism of Dante's "Divine
Comedy" and to the theory of interpretation.
Reading the poem through the lens of hermeneutical theory, Franke
focuses particularly on Dante's address to the reader as the site
of a disclosure of truth. The event of the poem for its reader
becomes potentially an experience of truth both human and divine.
While contemporary criticism has concentrated on the historical
character of Dante's poem, often insisting on it as undermining the
poem's claims to transcendence, Franke argues that precisely the
poem's historicity forms the ground for its mediation of a
religious revelation. Dante's dramatization, on an epic scale, of
the act of interpretation itself participates in the
self-manifestation of the Word in poetic form.
"Dante's Interpretive Journey" is an indispensable addition to the
field of Dante studies and offers rich insights for philosophy and
theology as well.
