Book Description
Charles S. Singleton's edition of the Divine Comedy, of which this is the first part, provides the English-speaking reader with everything he needs to read and understand Dante’s great masterpiece. The Italian text here is in the edition of Giorgio Petrocchi, the leading Italian editor of Dante. Professor Singleton’s prose translation, facing the Italian in a line-for-line arrangement on each page, is smooth and literate. The companion volume, the Commentary, marshals every point of information the reader may require: vocabulary; grammar; identification of Dante’s characters; historical sources of some of the incidents and, where pertinent, excerpts from those sources in their original languages and in translation; profound clear analysis of the Divine Comedy’s basic allegory. There is a complete bibliography of every aspect of Dante studies. This first part of the Divine Comedy which is illustrated with maps of Italy and the region Dante knew especially, diagrams of the circles of Hell, and plates showing some of the historic sites mentioned by Dante in his poem.

Poetry in Dialogue in the Duecento and Dante
Author: David Bowe
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192589423
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Poetry in Dialogue in the Duecento and Dante provides a new perspective on the highly networked literary landscape of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy. It demonstrates the fundamental role of dialogue between and within texts in the works of four poets who represent some of the major developments in early Italian literature: Guittone d'Arezzo, Guido Guinizzelli, Guido Cavalcanti, and Dante. Rather than reading the cultural landscape through the lens of Dante's works, significant though they may be, the first part of this study reconstructs the rich network of literary, especially poetic dialogue that was at the heart of medieval writing in Italy. The second part uses this reconstruction to demonstrate Dante's engagement with, and indebtedness to, the dynamics of exchange that characterised the practice of medieval Italian poets. The overall argument—for the centrality of dialogic processes to the emerging Italian literary tradition—is underpinned by a conceptualisation of dialogue in relation to medieval and modern literary theory and philosophy of language. By triangulating between Brunetto Latini's Rettorica, Mikhail Bakhtin's 'dialogism', and as sense of 'performative' speech adapted from J. L. Austin, Poetry in Dialogue shows the openness of its corpus to new dialogues and interpretations, highlighting the instabilities of even the most apparently fixed, monumental texts.

Dante and Ovid
Author: Madison U. Sowell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Intertextuality
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
"While for generations scholars have exulted and excelled in tracing the Commedia's biblical, classical, and contemporary medieval allusions, an even more stimulating enterprise is to consider how and why Dante transforms the material he "steals". The "how" and "why" of Dante's transformation of sources are closely connected and constitute the dual basis of inquiry for Dante and Ovid: Essays in Intertextuality. The authors of the essays in this volume have freely, both in their notes and in the bodies of their papers, addressed one another, both about Dante's text and about each other's conclusions and contributions. The articles are not meant to be the ultimate commentary on the Dante-Ovid connection; rather, these intellectual forays are intended to intiate more extended discussion on the Tuscan poet's relationship not only to the author of the Metamorphoses but also to all the auctores to whom Dante alludes" -- p.2.
