{"product_id":"dante-now-9780268055516","title":"Dante Now","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten by ten distinguished Dante scholars, the essays in \u003ci\u003eDante Now\u003c\/i\u003e represent the most significant areas of contemporary Dante studies. This collection, originating from a 1993 University of Notre Dame conference, includes some of the particular on three intensely cultivated areas of Dante studies: poetics, \"minor works,\"and reception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stimulating ferment on the problem of Dante's poetics is well represented in the first three essays. These range in approach from the stylistic-ideological treatment of Zygmunt G. Baranski's essay to the inter-and intra-textual concerns presented by Christopher Kleinhenz, to the compelling hermeneutical and epistemological reflections on Dante's poetics given by Giuseppe Mazzotta. Dante's so-called \"minor works\" have increasingly become a focus of attention in contemporary Dante studies, and the textual problems represented by the \u003ci\u003eVita nuova\u003c\/i\u003e are sweepingly reconsidered by Dino S. Cervigni and Edward Vasta. Ronald L. Martinez dedicates a substantial essay to Dante's poem of exile \"Tre donne,\" and Albert Russell Ascoli addresses the issue of the relationship between Dante's \u003ci\u003eCommedia\u003c\/i\u003e and the minor works, especially the \u003ci\u003eMonarchia\u003c\/i\u003e. The final section of essays examines the phenomenon of the original and continuing vitality of Dante's work as a profoundly of influential, enduring, and enlivening literary classic. R.A. Shoaf addresses the literary influence of Dante in medieval England; Kevin Brownlee investigates Dante’s most important medieval French connection in the works of Christine de Pizan; and Nancy Vickers illuminates Dante's translatability into avante garde films and videos. Finally, Brian Richardson considers the \u003ci\u003eCommedia\u003c\/i\u003e's Fortunes during the Renaissance in terms of its remarkable editorial and publishing history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Theodore J.
