The essays in this volume probe current critical assumptions about the celebrated Italian poet, literary theorist, moral philosopher, and political theorist. Dante's attitude towards poetic authority and language comes under scrutiny in several essays, while others examine his political thought and his views on women and gender. Several articles focus exclusively on the \u003cem\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e, and, in particular, on its distinctive textual characteristics. There are new readings of two of the \u003cem\u003eDivine Comedy's\u003c\/em\u003e most important episodes - those of \u003cem\u003ePaolo and Francesca\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eEarthly Paradise\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e - whose significance extends far beyond their immediate contexts. These essays bring into focus Dante's bold narrative innovations and reflections on literature and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late \u003cb\u003eAmilcare Iannucci\u003c\/b\u003e was a professor in the Department of Italian Studies and the Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto.
