Purchase options and add-ons

In the past seven centuries Dante has become world renowned, with his works translated into multiple languages and read by people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. This volume brings together interdisciplinary essays by leading, international scholars to provide a comprehensive account of the historical, cultural and intellectual context in which Dante lived and worked: from the economic, social and political scene to the feel of daily life; from education and religion to the administration of justice; from medicine to philosophy and science; from classical antiquity to popular culture; and from the dramatic transformation of urban spaces to the explosion of visual arts and music. This book, while locating Dante in relation to each of these topics, offers readers a clear and reliable idea of what life was like for Dante as an outstanding poet and intellectual in the Italy of the late Middle Ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dante Gold Mine!
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2016
Verified Purchase
A wonderfully rich, broad, and informative collection of 30 well-written essays by noted Dante scholars. This book makes the world of Dante and his times very accessible (see the Table of Contents) and rewards the modern reader at every turn of the page. A "must-read" for Dante students and others fascinated by the history and culture of 12th and 13th century Italy. Not so much a commentary on Dante's literary works, but a collection of valuable and insightful papers on virtually every aspect of the world and times he lived in and how these shaped the man and his work.
