Description
Book SynopsisThe twenty-five original essays in this remarkable book constitute both a state of the art survey of Dante scholarship and a manifesto for new understandings of one of the world's great poets.
Trade Review"These scholars stand as staunch supporters of the constant need to re-evaluate Dante's medieval texts to discover what new word he has for readers that now live in a postmodern context." -- -Jessica Raymond Christianity & Literature "All in all, though, Dante for the New Millennium represents a major achievement. Thematically diverse yet tightly organized, finely edited, oriented both toward past approaches and future directions of research in the field, with-judiciously-separate bibliographies for each section, and a fine general index...the volume richly illustrates the thematic, methodological, and critical diversity of contemporary Anglo-American Dante studies." -- -Simon Gilson Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies
