2009 y.
Publisher: —

Teodolinda Barolini
Dante and the Origins of Italian Literary Culture

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this book, Teodolinda Barolini explores the sources of Italian literary culture in the figures of its lyric poets and its `three crowns`: Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. Barolini views the origins of Italian literary culture through four prisms: the ideological/philosophical, the intertextual/multicultural, the structural/formal, and the social. Moving from the lyric origins of the Divine Comedy in `Dante and the Lyric Past` to Petrarch`s regressive stance on gender in `Notes toward a Gendered History of Italian Literature`?and encompassing, among others, Giacomo da Lentini, Guido Cavalcanti, and Guittone d`Arezzo?these sixteen essays by one of our leading critics frame the literary culture of thirteenth-and fourteenth-century Italy in fresh, illuminating ways that will prove useful and instructive to students and scholars alike.

Dante on View

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing
Description: `Dante on View` opens an important new dimension in Dante studies: for the first time a collection of essays analyses the presence of the Italian Medieval poet Dante Alighieri in the visual and performing arts from the Middle Ages to the present day. The essays in this volume explore the image of Dante emerging in medieval illuminated manuscripts and later ideological and nostalgic uses of the poet. The volume also demonstrates the rich diversity of projects inspired by the `Commedia` both as an overall polysemic structure and as a repository of scenes, which generate a repertoire for painters, actors and film-makers. In its original multimediality, Dante`s `Commedia` stimulates the performance of readers and artists working in different media from manuscript to stage, from ballet to hyperinstruments, from film to television. Through such a variety of media, the reception of Dante in the visual and performing arts enriches our understanding of the poet and of the arts represented at… [detailed...]

Erich Auerbach
Dante: Poet of the Secular World (New York Review Books Classics)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A precursor and companion to Erich Auerbach’s majestic Mimesis , Dante: Poet of the Secular World is both a comprehensive introduction to the work of one of the greatest poets and a brilliantly provocative and stimulating essay in the history of ideas. Here Auerbach, acclaimed by writers and scholars as various as Terry Eagleton, Guy Davenport, and Alfred Kazin as one of the greatest critics of the twentieth century, argues paradoxically but powerfully that it is to Dante, supreme among Christian poets, that we owe the concept of the secular world. Dante’s poetry, Auerbach shows, offers an extraordinary synthesis of the sensuous and the conceptual, and individual and the universal, that redefined notions of human character and fate and opened the way into modernity. CONTENTS I. Historical Introduction, The Idea of Man in Literature II. Dante`s Early Poetry III. The Subject of the `Comedy` IV. The Structure of the `Comedy` V. The… [detailed...]

Marcus Sanders
Dante`s Paradiso

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With the publication of Dante`s Paradiso , Sandow Birk and Marcus Sanders complete their literary and artistic achievement—the retelling of The Divine Comedy in contemporary words and images. Hailed as `inspired` by the The London Review of Books , Birk and Sanders`s adaptation of Dante`s classic work is true to the spirit of the original and is as acerbic and shockingly funny today as in thirteenth-century Italy. With a text that incorporates modern slang and references to anachronistically recent public figures, Birk and Sanders pay tribute to Dante`s linguistic approach and clever politics. Birk`s striking spin on Gustave DorA©`s famous engravings accompany the cantos. Together they lend the timeless poem a postmodern edge. A major retrospective of all of Birk`s illustrations and paintings for the trilogy will be held at the San Jose Museum of Art in August 2005 in tribute to a masterpiece for our times. [detailed...]

Gregory B. Stone
Dante`s Pluralism and the Islamic Philosophy of Religion (New Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book shows that Dante`s project for the establishment of a peaceful global human community founded on religious pluralism is rooted in the Arabo-Islamic philosophical tradition--a tradition exemplified by al-Farabi`s declaration that `it is possible that excellent nations and excellent cities exist whose religions differ.` Part One offers an approach to Dante`s Comedy in the light of al-Farabi`s notion of the relation between religion and imagination. Part Two argues that, for Dante, the afterlife is not reserved exclusively for Christians. A key figure throughout is the Muslim philosopher Averroes, whose thinking on the relation between religion and philosophy is a model for Dante`s pragmatic understanding of religion. The book poses a challenge to the current orthodoxies of Dante scholarship by offering an alternative to the theological approach that has dominated interpretations of the Comedy for the past half century. It also serves as a general introduction to Dante`s… [detailed...]

Dante`s Purgatorio

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Following the acclaim for their innovative edition of Dante`s Inferno , Sandow Birk and Marcus Sanders guide us to the next level of the afterlife in Dante`s Purgatorio . The second book of Dante Alighieri`s classic poem The Divine Comedy , this version of Purgatorio couples a clever literary adaptation incorporating modern urban speech and contemporary references with powerful illustrations inspired by Gustave DorA©`s famous engravings. Whereas Inferno was primarily situated in a city that bears a curious resemblance to modern Los Angeles, Purgatorio is set in a surreal San Francisco Bay Area, an outlandish and hopeful milieu for those who have a chance to wash their sins away. Together, the sardonic yet playful combination of text and images comprise a vivid retelling of this masterpiece. [detailed...]

Xun Liu
Daoist Modern: Innovation, Lay Practice, and the Community of Inner Alchemy in Republican Shanghai (Harvard East Asian Monographs)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book explores the Daoist encounter with modernity through the activities of Chen Yingning (1880–1969), a famous lay Daoist master, and his group in early twentieth-century Shanghai. In contrast to the usual narrative of Daoist decay, with its focus on monastic decline, clerical corruption, and popular superstitions, this study tells a story of Daoist resilience, reinvigoration, and revival. Between the 1920s and 1940s, Chen led a group of urban lay followers in pursuing Daoist self-cultivation techniques as a way of ensuring health, promoting spirituality, forging cultural self-identity, building community, and strengthening the nation. In their efforts to renew and reform Daoism, Chen and his followers became deeply engaged with nationalism, science, the religious reform movements, the new urban print culture, and other forces of modernity. Since Chen and his fellow practitioners conceived of the Daoist self-cultivation tradition as a public resource, they also transformed it… [detailed...]
