Penetrating first the Divine Comedy and then the powerful influence of Dante on those who followed him, Freccero's volume is an invaluable companion for any reader of Dante.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"John Freccero is one of the great dantisti of his age. Freccero's erudition is as impressive in its depth (Plato and NeoPlatonism, Augustine, Italian philology) as in its breadth (Gramsci, Derrida, Girard, the epic, the novel). Along with the erudition, moreover, there is his beautifully lucid style: The prose is remarkably clear, graceful, eloquent, illusive, and at times even epigrammatic.\" -- -Peter S. Hawkins Yale Divinity School \"John Freccero's learned and lucid work on Dante has influenced generations of Dante scholars and others in a variety of fields. The remarkable range of allusions and analysis in this collection of essays offers a rich context for understanding key episodes of the Inferno as well as later literature engaged with comparable issues. The collection reaffirms the resonance and lasting value of Freccero's brilliant understanding of the reciprocity of theology and poetics.\" -- -Rachel Jacoff Wellesley College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents       Acknowledgments              Editors' introduction              List of Figures                Shipwreck in the Prologue             The Portrait of Francesca: Inferno 5             Epitaph for Guido             The Eternal Image of the Father            Allegory and Autobiography             In the Wake of the Argo on a Boundless Sea           The Fig Tree and the Laurel             Medusa and the Madonna of Forli: Political Sexuality in Machiavelli      Donne's Valediction: Forbidding Mourning           Zeno's Last Cigarette               Bibliography               Index","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406140514647,"sku":"9780823264285","price":26.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780823264285.jpg?v=1730494666","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/in-dantes-wake-9780823264285","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
