George Corbett and Heather Webb edit the third volume of a series devoted to reading Dante’s Comedy vertically. Instead of treating each canticle in isolation, this method compares correspondingly numbered cantos across Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.
The contributors trace connections, contrasts and developing concerns across the poem’s three parts. Their readings place individual passages within larger patterns of language, thought and narrative, offering different ways to approach the Comedy’s architecture. The volume contains complete scholarly essays with references and supporting material, intended for readers studying Dante as well as those extending a personal reading of the poem.
