Dante: Convivio - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Dante: Convivio - Dante Alighieri - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Dante''s Convivio, composed in exile between 1304 and 1307, is a series of self-commentaries on three of Dante''s long poems. These allegorical love poems and philosophical verse become the basis for philosophical, literary, moral, and political exposition. The prose is written in Italian so that those who were not educated in Latin could take part in what Dante called his ''banquet of knowledge''. In this edition, eminent Dante translator-scholar Andrew Frisardi offers the first fully annotated translation of the work into English, with an extensive introduction, making Dante''s often complex writings accessible to scholars and students. The parallel Italian text is also included for the first time in an English translation of the Convivio. Readers of this work can gain a strong understanding of the philosophical themes across Dante''s work, including the Divine Comedy, as well as the logic, politics and science of his time.

Inferno - Dante - Bog - Benediction Classics - Plusbog.dk

Inferno - Dante - Bog - Benediction Classics - Plusbog.dk

" Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them. There is no third." - T. S. Eliot "Dante''s poem is, for many, the greatest single work of Western literature." - Ian Thompson. "I love my Dante as much as the Bible. He is my spiritual food, the rest is ballast." - James Joyce. In the middle of our life''s journey, I found myself in a dark wood/Bewildered, and I knew I had lost the way : so opens Dante''s Divine Comedy , "the best book literature has achieved" as Jorge Luis Borges writes. Dante''s Inferno , one of the greatest works of European literature, and "the most original and audacious treatment of the afterlife in Western literature" dazzles with its vivid and inventive storytelling and imagery. However, it contains much more than poetry and theology; it displays Dante''s wide and comprehensive learning, and his deep understanding of contemporary politics and society. "All life is contained in the poem, for Dante''s was an all-encompassing imagination, that interwove classical philosophy with Catholic doctrine and contemporary politics," (Ian Thompson). The thirty-three cantos of Inferno follow Dante, as, guided by the epic poet, Virgil, he travels through the nine descending circles of a freezing Hell, until he meets Satan trapped at the bottom. The Inferno is the most gripping and engaging book of The Divine Comedy , as Dante meets those damned for forbidden love, and all manner of human vices. (The damned, amusingly, include many of Dante''s enemies!) Inferno is the logical conclusion of all that is worst in human life. It is bearable only because Dante eventually emerges. The Divine Comedy was written over a period of twenty years towards the end of Dante''s life. It was appreciated as a masterpiece soon after its completion, and it has captivated both readers and the Western imagination ever since. The Inferno is the most widely translated book after the Bible. This edition is translated by the celebrated poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow . Dante Alighieri, (1265-1321) was an Italian poet, prose writer, literary critic, philosopher, and political thinker and adviser. He is regarded as the greatest Italian writer. As one of the earliest forerunners of the Renaissance, predating Chaucer, he set the stage for the explosion of creativity that was to follow. Dante is best known for The Divine Comedy, which remains the greatest work of Italian literature.

Dante Satiro - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Dante Satiro - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This collection of essays is the first comprehensive study on Dante and satire within his entire corpus that has been published. Its title evokes the moment when Virgil leads Dante through Limbo, the uppermost portion of Hell. There, they are joined by four classical poets, and Virgil describes one of them as “Horace the satirist” (“Orazio satiro,” 4:89). By applying the expression to Dante himself, this volume seeks to explore the satirical elements in his works. Although Dante is not typically described as a satirist, anyone familiar with his works will recognize the strong satirical element in his many writings. Ultimately, this study shows that Dante engages in satire in order to attain the primary literary tool at his disposal for his prophetic objectives: the castigation of vice.

Reading Dante - Jesper Hede - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Reading Dante - Jesper Hede - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Reading Dante: The Pursuit of Meaning examines the problem of determining the thematic unity of Dante''s Divina Commedia in the history of Dante studies. The question of unity has puzzled Dante readers for centuries, due to an apparent discrepancy between Dante''s construction of the afterworld and medieval Christian teachings on the conditions of the afterlife. If all sins condemned in Hell can be forgiven, we would expect to see them purged in Purgatory and their virtuous opposite celebrated in Paradise. In Dante''s account, however, the three realms of the afterlife appear as self-contained entities with only partially related structures that undermine the establishment of thematic correspondences and the determination of the poem''s thematic unity. Was Dante inconsistent in his exposition of the divine order, or have Dante scholars been inconsistent in their treatment of the poem''s thematic content? Jesper Hede examines the prevalent strategies of reading applied by Dante scholars in their attempt to solve the problem of unity. Detailing the major contributions to the resolution of the problem and focusing on medieval philosophy and modern hermeneutics, Hede argues that a systematic parallel reading of the poem''s three parts reveals that it is the vision of divine order that gives the poem its thematic unity.

Purgatory - Dante Dante - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Purgatory - Dante Dante - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

A new translation by Anthony Esolen Illustrations by Gustave Doré Written in the fourteenth century by Italian poet and philosopher Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy is arguably the greatest epic poem of all time—presenting Dante’s brilliant vision of the three realms of Christian afterlife: Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise . In this second and perhaps most imaginative part of his masterwork, Dante struggles up the terraces of Mount Purgatory, still guided by Virgil, in a continuation of his difficult ascent to purity. Anthony Esolen’s acclaimed translation of Inferno, Princeton professor James Richardson said, “follows Dante through all his spectacular range, commanding where he is commanding, wrestling, as he does, with the density and darkness in language and in the soul. It is living writing.” This edition of Purgatory includes an appendix of key sources and extensive endnotes—an invaluable guide for both general readers and students.

Dante - Alessandro Barbero - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

"A vital guide ... It is difficult to imagine anyone seriously interested in Dante who will not want to own this book" AN Wilson, The TimesSince Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy it has defined how people imagine and depict not only heaven and hell, but romantic love and the human condition. However, while Dante''s works are widely celebrated outside Italy, the circumstances of his extraordinary life are less well known. Born in 1265, Dante''s adolescence was characterised by literary genius, but his political activism in one of the medieval world''s wealthiest cities led to his death in exile. Pre-eminent Dante scholar Alessandro Barbero and celebrated translator Allan Cameron bring the poet vividly to life. Animating the political intrigue, violence, civil war, exile and cities that shaped Dante''s poetic and political life, this is a remarkable portrait of one of the creators of European literature and a towering medieval figure in time for the 700th anniversary of his death.

Joyce's Dante - James Robinson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Joyce's Dante - James Robinson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

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.

Dante - Jeremy Tambling - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Dante''s work has fascinated readers for seven hundred years and has provided key reference points for writing as diverse as that of Chaucer, the Renaissance poets, the English Romantics, Tennyson and the Pre-Raphaelites, American writers from Melville through to Eliot and Pound, Anglo-Irish Modernists from Joyce to Beckett, and contemporary poets such as Heaney and Walcott. In this volume, Jeremy Tambling has selected ten recent essays from the mass of Dante studies, and put the Divine Comedy - Dante''s record of a journey to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - into context for the modern reader. Topics such as Dante''s allegory, his relationship to classical and modern poetry, his treatment of love and of sexuality, his attitudes to Florence and to his contemporary Italy, are explored and clarified through a selection of work by some of the best scholars in the field. An introduction and notes help the reader to situate the criticism, and to relate it to contemporary literary theory. In this anthology, Dante''s relevance to both English and Italian literature is highlighted, and the significance of Dante for poetry in English is illuminated for the modern reader. This book provides students of English literature and Italian literature with the most comprehensive collection of important critical studies of Dante to date.

The Oxford Handbook of Dante - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Oxford Handbook of Dante - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Oxford Handbook of Dante contains forty-four specially written chapters that provide a thorough and creative reading of Dante''s oeuvre. It gathers an intergenerational and international team of scholars encompassing diverse approaches from the fields of Anglo-American, Italian, and continental scholarship and spanning several disciplines: philology, material culture, history, religion, art history, visual studies, theory from the classical to the contemporary, queer, post- and de-colonial, and feminist studies. The volume combines a rigorous reassessment of Dante''s formation, themes, and sources, with a theoretically up-to-date focus on textuality, thereby offering a new critical Dante. The volume is divided into seven sections: ''Texts and Textuality''; ''Dialogues''; ''Transforming Knowledge''; Space(s) and Places''; ''A Passionate Selfhood''; ''A Non-linear Dante''; and ''Nachleben''. It seeks to challenge the Commedia-centric approach (the conviction that notwithstanding its many contradictions, Dante''s works move towards the great reservoir of poetry and ideas that is the Commedia), in order to bring to light a non-teleological way in which these works relate amongst themselves. Plurality and the openness of interpretation appear as Dante''s very mark, coexisting with the attempt to create an all-encompassing mastership. The Handbook suggests what is exciting about Dante now and indicates where Dante scholarship is going, or can go, in a global context.
