Book Synopsis Ascent to Love by : Peter J. Leithart
Download or read book Ascent to Love written by Peter J. Leithart and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2001 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the supreme Christian epic poems, Dante's Divine Comedy provides not only far more personality and emotional depth than the pagan epics, it also opens up all the issues on which Western history turns - truth, beauty, goodness, sin, sanctification, and triumph. For all that, C.S. Lewis loved the Comedy for its seemingly effortless poetry. In this guide Peter Leithart uses a biblical angle to open up the Comedy for students, high school and up. He begins his discussion by examining the meaning and place of the courtly love tradition and then introduces us to the varied levels of meaning throughout the work. In the heart of the guide, Leithart walks us carefully through the craft and symbolism of each progressive stage - Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Each section contains helpful study questions.
Book Synopsis Dante's Christian Ethics by : George Corbett
Download or read book Dante's Christian Ethics written by George Corbett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a major re-appraisal of the Commedia as originally envisaged by Dante: as a work of ethics. Privileging the ethical, Corbett increases our appreciation of Dante's eschatological innovations and literary genius. Drawing upon a wider range of moral contexts than in previous studies, this book presents an overarching account of the complex ordering and political programme of Dante's afterlife. Balancing close readings with a lucid overview of Dante's Commedia as an ethical and political manifesto, Corbett cogently approaches the poem through its moral structure. The book provides detailed interpretations of three particularly significant sins - pride, sloth, and avarice - and the three terraces of Purgatory devoted to them. While scholars register Dante's explicit confession of pride, the volume uncovers Dante's implicit confession of sloth and prodigality (the opposing subvice of avarice) through Statius, his moral cypher.

Book Synopsis The Biblical Dante by : V. Stanley Benfell
Download or read book The Biblical Dante written by V. Stanley Benfell and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-11-26 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante Alighieri cited the Bible extensively in his Commedia, but also used his epic poem to meditate on the meaning of the Scriptures as a 'true' text. The Biblical Dante provides close readings of passages from the Commedia to explore how Dante's concept of Biblical truth differs sharply from modern notions. V. Stanley Benfell examines Dante's argument that the truth of the sacred text could only be revealed when engaged with in a transformative manner - and that a lack of such encounters in his time had led to a rise in greed and corruption, notably within the Church. He also illustrates how the poet put forth a vision for the restoration of a just society using Biblical language and imagery, revealing ideas of both earthly and eternal happiness. The Biblical Dante provides an insightful analysis of attitudes towards both the Bible and how it was read in the Medieval period.
Book Synopsis Saturn's Sphere by : Aaron Scott Taylor
Download or read book Saturn's Sphere written by Aaron Scott Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the arrangement of souls in Dante's Paradiso, the poet places the most blessed category of souls, the contemplatives, in the sphere of Saturn, a planet generally considered to be "The Greater Infortune" in medieval astrology (Paradiso 21-22). This thesis asks and answers the question why this should be so. Scholarly literature on Dante has rarely dealt with this question in depth. Commentators since the fourteenth century have typically offered a brief explanation, and one often finds these explanations more or less expanded upon in the tradition of Lecturae Dantis. But to my knowledge, the only prolonged consideration of the nature of Saturn in Paradiso is the relevant chapter of Richard Kay's Dante's Christian Astrology, which tends to focus more on details than on the larger question. My thesis is that when fully examined the medieval associations of Saturn actually constitute an atmosphere peculiarly appropriate to contemplative hermits, and an understanding of this "Saturnine atmosphere" will enable us to read rightly both the two speaking figures of the cantos, Peter Damian and Benedict of Nursia, as well as the two lesser figures who are named as present but remain silent, Macarius and Romuald. In order to develop this thesis, I consider Dante's sources, both confirmed and surmised, in order to develop a portrait of Saturn as he was understood by the fourteenth century, employing contemporary definitions and etymologies of the appropriate terms. I look at Paradiso's intertextual relations with those authors, ancient, late antique, and medieval, in connection with the Saturnine associations they furnish. I use those results to demonstrate the nature of the Saturnine atmosphere developed in Paradiso 21-22, comparing the images and qualities of Saturn with the characterizations and images of Saturn's sphere in the Commedia. Then I consider the lives, writings, and depictions in the appropriate cantos of the four contemplatives that Dante identifies, demonstrating how they relate to the Saturnine atmosphere and associations and why the poet might have chosen each of them for inclusion in Saturn's sphere. Special attention is given to the identity of Macarius, as there are at least three possibilities and Dante does not specify in any way which one he is thinking of. I find that the medieval understanding of Saturn is truly integral to the atmosphere and events of Par. 21-22, and that there are many examples of this in the lives, writings, and role in the Commedia of the four souls in question. These findings significantly deepen our understanding of these cantos and their connection with the architectonics of Paradiso. Future research might focus in more depth on one of the four contemplatives, particularly the much neglected Macarius, consider to a greater degree the role of Saturnine allusions and imagery in other parts of the Commedia and perhaps even in Dante's lyrics, and treat more profound themes connected with Saturn and Paradiso in light of critical theory, such as the work of Walter Benjamin and Mikhail Bakhtin
Book Synopsis Dante the Theologian by : Denys Turner
Download or read book Dante the Theologian written by Denys Turner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of Dante the theologian as distinct from Dante the poet has been neglected in an appreciation of Dante's work as a whole. That is the starting-point of this vital new book. In giving theology fresh centrality, the author argues that theologians themselves should find, when they turn to Dante Alighieri, a compelling resource: whether they do so as historians of fourteenth-century Christian thought, or as interpreters of the religious issues of our own times. Expertly guiding his readers through the structure and content of the Commedia, Denys Turner reveals – in pacy and muscular prose – how Dante's aim for his masterpiece is to effect what it signifies. It is this quasi-sacramental character that renders it above all a theological treatise: whose meaning is intelligible only through poetry. Turner's Dante 'knows that both poetry and theology are necessary to the essential task and that each without the other is deficient.'
Download or read book Dante's Hidden God written by Paul Priest and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that though Hell seems a God-forsaken place, every scene, character and major image in Dantes Divine Comedy Hell, Purgatory and Paradise is associated with one of the Persons of the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as it were lurking in the shadows. Thus every one of the hundred cantos has a dedication to a Person, and the cantos form overarching groups which are also so dedicated, making the whole poem like a vast symbolic cathedral, where every action has a secret divine dimension. These presences make it very doubtful that Dante really thinks God tortures people for eternity! For readers who may be unfamiliar with Dante, the author has made a translation, abridged, in prose and verse, thus hoping to provide an introduction to Dante for those who do not know him and a new way of reading him for those who do. The result of decades of reflection on Dante and the Trinity, Dantes Hidden God offers a fresh and challenging vision of the Commedia. Offered as an invitation to read Dante, this inventive presentation of Dantes masterpiece will intrigue readers and gives an accessible account of Paul Priests highly original ideas about the sacrato poema.

Book Synopsis Dante's Paradise by : Dante Alighieri
Download or read book Dante's Paradise written by Dante Alighieri and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paradise, which Dante called the sublime canticle, is perhaps the most ambitious book of The Divine Comedy. In this climactic segment, Dante's pilgrim reaches Paradise and encounters the Divine Will. The poet's mystical interpretation of the religious life is a complex and exquisite conclusion to his magnificent trilogy. Mark Musa's powerful and sensitive translation preserves the intricacy of the work while rendering it in clear, rhythmic English. His extensive notes and introductions to each canto make accessible to all readers the diverse and often abstruse ingredients of Dante's unparalleled vision of the Absolute: elements of Ptolemaic astronomy, medieval astrology and science, theological dogma, and the poet's own personal experiences.
