Why Dante Matters
Language: English
Published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, GB, 2020
ISBN 10: 1472951034 ISBN 13: 9781472951038
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: New. John Took provides an entirely original view of one of the most important poets and thinkers in all of Western literature, Dante Alighieri.The year 2021 marks the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri, a poet who, as T. S. Eliot put it, 'divides the world with Shakespeare, there being no third'. His, like ours, was a world of moral uncertainty and political violence, all of which made not only for the agony of exile but for an ever deeper meditation on the nature of human happiness.In Why Dante Matters, John Took offers by way of three in particular of Dante's works - the Vita Nova as the great work of his youth, the Convivio as the great work of his middle years and the Commedia as the great work of his maturity - an account, not merely of Dante's development as a poet and philosopher, but of his continuing presence to us as a guide to man's wellbeing as man. Committed as he was to the welfare not only of his contemporaries but of those 'who will deem this time ancient', Dante's is in this sense a discourse overarching the centuries, a discourse confirming him in his status, not merely as a cultural icon, but as a fellow traveller.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. MAGISTERIAL: BEAUTIFUL: INCISIVE: BRILLIANT: ILLUMINATING: INVALUABLE: AUTHORITATIVE: SPLENDIDLY COMPREHENSIVE: NEW First Edition hardcover (orig. 2020) First Printing: handsome NEW jacket protected in a precisely-applied mylar-sleeve, NEW cream-white library-durable linen-over-boards cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, IMMPECCALE smooth-cut text-lock exterior, STRIKING unblemished crimson card-stock end-papers, NEW perfect binding w/ tight sheets, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed on superb unblemished archival paper * 6.36" x 9.50" x 1.76", 1.18 kg, xxvi+582 (608) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: For all that has been written about the author of the Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) remains the best guide to his own life & work. Dante's writings thus are never far away in this authoritative & comprehensive intellectual biography, which offers a fresh account of the medieval Florentine poet's life & thought before & after his exile in 1302. Beginning w/ the often violent circumstances of Dante's life, the book examines his successive works as testimony to the course of his passionate humanity: his lyric poetry through to the "Vita nova" as the great work of his first period; the "Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia" & the poems of his early years in exile; & the "Monarchia" & the "Commedia" as the product of his maturity. Describing as it does a journey of the mind, the book confirms the nature of Dante's undertaking as an exploration of what he himself speaks of as "maturity in the flame of love." The result is an original synthesis of Dante's life & work. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "John Took offers a splendidly comprehensive & well-informed account of Dante's work. Full weight is given to the ways in which the poet's writings reflect & respond to historical context. But above all the poetry itself is seen, rightly & enthusiastically, as a 'coruscation of delight.'" -Robin Kirkpatrick, University of Cambridge "A magisterial work, the result of a lifetime's devoted engagement w/ Dante's work & all that went into making the man & the poetry." -Corinna Salvadori Lonergan, Fellow Emeritus, Trinity College, Dublin "A beautiful book that reflects decades of thinking & teaching on Dante. Readers will not be disappointed by Took's incisive, comprehensive readings of the 'Divine Comedy' & other works." -Piero Boitani, Sapienza University of Rome * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Took is Professor Emeritus of Dante Studies at University College London. His books include "L'Etterno Piacer: Aesthetic Ideas in Dante" and "Dante, Lyric Poet and Philosopher: An Introduction to the Minor Works." * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for A below-cost additional fee of $16.00) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
