Description
Dante for the New Millennium brings together twenty-five original essays by leading scholars to provide a state-of-the-art survey of Dante scholarship and a manifesto for new understandings of one of the world's great poets. This collection results from an historic conference called by the Dante Society of America, addressing important questions such as the unique theories, methods, and issues in Dante scholarship, its changing nature, and how to read Dante in today's global culture. The contributors offer a range of perspectives on Dante's texts, his world, and his legacy. From discussions of the Commedia to explorations of Dante after modernism, these essays shed new light on the poet's works and their enduring relevance. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in Dante scholarship and its ongoing evolution. Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, including Teodolinda Barolini, H. Wayne Storey, Guglielmo Gorni, and others, Dante for the New Millennium provides a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal poet's work and its continued influence on literature and culture.
