Julia Straub's approach combines theoretical sophistication with clarity of exposition and wide-ranging scholarship. Her work will also be of value to those interested in gender issues, aesthetics and relationships between media during the period.\" (Nick Havely, Professor of English \u0026amp; Related Literature, University of York, UK; editor of Dante's Modern Afterlife) \"If Dante is 'the central man of all the world' as Ruskin argued, then Beatrice, as Julia Straub so beautifully argues, is the central woman, a figure who embodies the idealisations of Victorian culture, but also their critique. The most arresting chapter for me was that on Walter Pater, where Straub demonstrates that a study of Beatrice's redemptive femininity actually allows the articulation of a specifically masculine mode of creativity.\" (Alison Milbank, Associate Professor, Department of Theology, The University of Nottingham, UK)\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements; List of Figures; 1.
