The Ancient Flame : Dante And The Poets

  • The Ancient Flame : Dante And The Poets

  • Attribution

    Winthrop Wetherbee

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Notre Dame Press, 2008

  • Description

    While the structure and themes of the “Divine Comedy” are defined by the narrative of a spiritual pilgrimage guided by Christian truth, Winthrop Wetherbee’s remarkable new study reveals that Dante’s engagement with the great Latin poets Vergil, Ovid, Lucan, and Statius constitutes a second, complementary narrative centered on psychological and artistic self-discovery.This fresh, illuminating approach departs from the usual treatment of classical poets in Dante criticism, which assigns them a merely allegorical function.

  • Attribution

    Harriet Rubin

  • Publication Details

    Book, Simon & Schuster, 2004

    Dante in Love is the story of the most famous journey in literature. Dante in Love tells the story of the High Middle Ages, a time during which the artist Giotto was the first to paint the sky blue, Francis of Assisi discovered knowledge in humility and the great doctors of the church mapped the soul and stood back to admire their cathedrals.
