{"product_id":"dante-now","title":"Dante Now","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten by ten distinguished Dante scholars, the essays in \u003ci\u003eDante Now\u003c\/i\u003e represent the most significant areas of contemporary Dante studies. This collection, originating from a 1993 University of Notre Dame conference, includes some of the particular on three intensely cultivated areas of Dante studies: poetics, \"minor works,\"and reception.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe stimulating ferment on the problem of Dante''s poetics is well represented in the first three essays. These range in approach from the stylistic-ideological treatment of Zygmunt G. Baranski''s essay to the inter-and intra-textual concerns presented by Christopher Kleinhenz, to the compelling hermeneutical and epistemological reflections on Dante''s poetics given by Giuseppe Mazzotta. Dante''s so-called \"minor works\" have increasingly become a focus of attention in contemporary Dante studies, and the textual problems represented by the \u003ci\u003eVita nuova\u003c\/i\u003e are sweepingly reconsidered by Dino S. Cervigni and Edward Vasta. Ronald L. Martinez dedicates a substantial essay to Dante''s poem of exile \"Tre donne,\" and Albert Russell Ascoli addresses the issue of the relationship between Dante''s \u003ci\u003eCommedia\u003c\/i\u003e and the minor works, especially the \u003ci\u003eMonarchia\u003c\/i\u003e. The final section of essays examines the phenomenon of the original and continuing vitality of Dante''s work as a profoundly of influential, enduring, and enlivening literary classic. R.A. Shoaf addresses the literary influence of Dante in medieval England; Kevin Brownlee investigates Dante''s most important medieval French connection in the works of Christine de Pizan; and Nancy Vickers illuminates Dante''s translatability into avante garde films and videos. Finally, Brian Richardson considers the \u003ci\u003eCommedia\u003c\/i\u003e''s Fortunes during the Renaissance in terms of its remarkable editorial and publishing history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57466695319925,"sku":"9780268008796","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780268008796.jpg?v=1785654755","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/dante-now","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
