Opis

Using the work of Dante as its critical focus, Maria Rosa Menocal's original and imaginative study examines questions of truth, ideology, and reality in poetry as they occur in a series of texts and in the relationship between those texts across time. In each case, Menocal raises theoretical issues of critical importance to contemporary debates regarding the structure of literary relations. Beginning with readings of "La vita nuova" and the "Commedia" this literary histories explores the Dantean poetic experience as it has been limited and rewritten by later poets, particularly Petrarch, Boccaccio, Borges, Pound, Eliot, and the all but forgotten Silvio Pellico, author of "Le mie prigioni". By blending discussions of Dante's own marriage of literature and literary history with those investigations into the imitative qualities of later works. "Writing in Dante's Cult of Truth" presents an intertextual literary history, one which seeks to maintain the uncanniness of literature, while imagining history to be neither linear nor clearly distinguishable from literature itself. This study should be of interest to Medieval and Renaissance scholars, particularly students of Dante, and to those engaged in current theoretical literary studies.
