In
this accessible critical introduction to Dante’s Divine Comedy Robin Kirkpatrick
principally focuses on Dante as a poet and storyteller. He addresses
important questions such as Dante's attitude towards Virgil, and
demonstrates how an early work such as the Vita nuova is a principal
source of the literary achievement of the Comedy. His detailed reading
reveals how the great narrative poem explores the relationship that
Dante believed to exist between God as creator of the universe and the
human being as a creature of God. In addition, Kirkpatrick takes due
account of the historical and philosophical dimensions of the poem.
Contents: List of abbreviations; Chronology; 1. Change, vision and
language: the early works and Inferno Canto Two; 3. The Divine Comedy;
4. After Dante; Guide to further reading.
