Description

Dante's Plurilingualism Authority, Knowledge, Subjectivity by Sara Fortuna explores the complex relationship between language, authority, and identity in Dante's works. By bringing together diverse approaches from literary studies to philosophy and history, this volume offers new insights into Dante's linguistic theory and praxis. The book examines how Dante's concept of language is shaped by his tension between the prestige of Latin and the volgare, as well as his innovative use of language in his poetic works. This nuanced analysis reveals a rich and complex configuration of authority, knowledge, and identity that continues to fascinate scholars today. Through its interdisciplinary approach, Dante's Plurilingualism sheds new light on the enduring significance of Dante's linguistic theory and its ongoing relevance to modern debates about language, culture, and identity.
