Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Liturgical Song and Practice in Dante’s 'Commedia' is highly original. It offers the first sustained treatment of its topic, providing substantial and wide-ranging insight on the nature and implications of the Commedia’s representation of, engagement with, and conscious self-articulation of the relationship between humanity and divinity expressed in and as liturgy.” —Vittorio Montemaggi, co-editor of Dante’s “Commedia”: Theology as Poetry
"Phillips-Robins balances rigorous textual-historical research and theological acuity with an awareness of the formational purpose of liturgy... Her superb book will be of considerable interest to Dante scholars, liturgical scholars, and other medievalists who are concerned with Dante's lived religious context." —Religion & Literature
"Phillips-Robins' book is a welcome addition and corrective in an area of Dante scholarship that is still but feebly explored." —Speculum
"Published in the prestigious Dante series of the University of Notre Dame, which has launched fundamental studies that have indeed opened up new perspectives, Phillips-Robins' book marks an advancement in studies on the poem and will stimulate new contributions." —Italica
