MedievalItalianPhilosophy

This book presents the proceedings of the fifth and final meeting of the International Dante Seminar. The papers, given by some of the leading international scholars of the poet – from Italy, the UK and the USA – address four major topics of particular concern to present-day Dante studies: Dante as a lyric poet; Dante as an ethical poet; Dante and the Eclogues; and Dante in nineteenth-century Britain. These topics reflect both areas which are currently the subject of heated critical debate (several new editions of the lyric poems have recently appeared or are in preparation, and the ethical dimension of Dante’s works is very much under discussion) and areas which are long overdue a reassessment (Dante’s remarkable revival of Latin pastoral poetry, and the extraordinary British contribution to Dante studies in the nineteenth century). As this set of conference proceedings makes clear, in Dante and in his legacy, ethics and poetry are inseparable.

Zygmunt G. Baranski is Serena Professor of Italian, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Murray Edwards College. Martin McLaughlin is Agnelli-Serena Professor of Italian Studies at the University of Oxford, and Fellow of Magdalen College.

Reviews:

‘The essay by Justin Steinberg deserves emphasis... it makes a significant contribution to modern Dante scholarship. In a well-argued and well-documented approach, Steinberg discusses Dante’s dreams in Vita nova and the author’s use of dreams to explore questions of truth and fiction.’ — Unn Falkeid, Renaissance Quarterly 64.1, Spring 2011, 157-58
‘All in all, then, this is an impressive volume—a shade formidable, I would say, in respect of its user unfriendliness (acres of text on the page and a rather intrusive accumulation of translations and references in the body of the text)—but impressive for all that.’ — John Took, Modern Language Review 107.1, January 2012, 290-92 (full text online)
