Beschreibung

Published in 1992, Teodolinda Barolini's The Undivine Comedy: Detheologizing Dante was a clarion call for a paradigmatic shift in reading Dante's Commedia. Bringing together an international cadre of scholars, A World of Possibilities: The Legacy of 'The Undivine Comedy' illustrates the generative influence that Barolini's approach has exerted across continents, disciplines, and generations. It testifies to the variety of interpretations that originate in her method, and opens new perspectives on Dante's oeuvre and the significance of literature.
