Abstract

A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year A Marginal Revolution Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year A Seminary Co-op Notable Book of the Year A Times Higher Education Book of the Week A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Marco Santagata’s Dante: The Story of His Life illuminates one of the world’s supreme poets from many angles—writer, philosopher, father, courtier, political partisan. Santagata brings together a vast body of Italian scholarship on Dante’s medieval world, untangles a complex web of family and political relationships for English readers, and shows how the composition of the Commedia was influenced by local and regional politics. “Reading Marco Santagata’s fascinating new biography, the reader is soon forced to acknowledge that one of the cornerstones of Western literature [The Divine Comedy], a poem considered sublime and universal, is the product of vicious factionalism and packed with local scandal.” —Tim Parks, London Review of Books “This is a wonderful book. Even if you have not read Dante you will be gripped by its account of one of the most extraordinary figures in the history of literature, and one of the most dramatic periods of European history. If you are a Dantean, it will be your invaluable companion forever.” —A. N. Wilson, The Spectator

Abstract

Als Urtext der europäischen Literatur ist Dantes Commedia seit Jahrhunderten Gegenstand einer exegetischen Tradition, die zahllose Kommentare und Auslegungen, aber auch wirkmächtige figurative Interpretationen hervorgebracht hat. Der Dichter selbst war mit der Kunst seiner Zeit bestens vertraut, die Bildhaftigkeit seiner Sprache hat Generationen von Lesern Hölle, Läuterungsberg und Paradies plastisch vor Augen gestellt und große Künstler, von Giotto bis zu Blake, Delacroix und Rodin, zu immer neuer Auseinandersetzung motiviert. Der erste Band der "Refigurationen" stellt diesen Dialog von Literatur und bildender Kunst dar, der vielfach zum Katalysator innovativer Konzepte und medialer Grenzerfahrungen wird und zugleich Grundfragen dichterischer wie bildkünstlerischer Produktion berührt.

Abstract

Dante Alighieri and John Milton, two composers of vernacular epic poems, undoubtedly hold prominent positions in the literary canons of Italy and England respectively. Both authors have been made into universally important icons deeply engrained in the world's cultural memory; their importance, however, extends vastly beyond their mere literary and political influence. This anthology explores the synchronic and diachronic constructions of Dante and Milton as such culturally produced icons.The main focus of the contributions in this collection is the production of cultural memory regarding Dant

Abstract

Joyce's engagement with Dante is a crucial component of all of his work. This title reconsiders the responses to Dante in Joyce's work from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to Finnegans Wake. It presents that encounter as an historically complex and contextually determined interaction reflecting the contested development of Dante's reputation, readership and textuality throughout the nineteenth century. This process produced a 'Dante with a difference', a uniquely creative and unorthodox construction of the poet which informed Joyce's lifelong engagement with such works as the Vita Nuova and the Commedia. Tracing the movement through Joyce's writing on exile as a mode of alienation and charting his growing interest in ideas of community, Joyce's Dante shows how awareness of his changing reading of Dante can alter our understanding of one of the Irish writer's lasting thematic preoccupations.

Abstract

This study of the House of Fame is the product of a long-time fascination with the poem. The thought of Chaucer having newly returned from several trips to Italy and engaging with the writings of Dante and Boccaccio for the first time, offered an exciting window onto late medieval English literary culture at a moment of profound change. He, and they, newly took up the vernacular against conventional wisdom as the medium to explore philosophical, aesthetic, and theological questions. By reading the House of Fame only as a Dantean poem, many readers have done it a disservice and missed much of the poem's important dialogue with Boccaccio; he left many legacies for Chaucer, the most important of which was a vernacular model for departing from Dantean poetics. Boccaccio also foregrounded a poetics of mural ekphrasis. Chaucer eagerly adopts this, but also fills the House of Fame with a striking concentration of three-dimensional visual images, some evoking the religious statuary of his own time, and some the theme of Apocalypse then popular. Since for the later medieval layperson and cleric, visual literacy often took precedence over literacy of the written word, it is important that we read poetic texts in the context of images. In the House of Fame Chaucer begins to present his own vision (however unfinished) as commensurate with Dante's or even Boccaccio's; the poem has much to tell us about his early acquaintance with the Italian poets and his restless struggle to understand and visualize fame, even on their terms. It is a poem always on the move, always in the process of its own "makyng," flaws and all. We must take it as it is, but we must also see it as a "work in progress," a rich and fascinating record of Chaucer's discovery of new intellectual horizons in the years after his sojourns in Italy.
