In each case, Menocal raises theoretical issues of critical importance to contemporary debates regarding the structure of literary relations.\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with a reading of \u003ci\u003eLa vita nuova\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eCommedia, \u003c\/i\u003ethis literary history of poetic 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 \u003ci\u003eLe mie prigioni.\u003c\/i\u003e By blending discussions of Dante’s own marriage of literature and literary history with those investigations into the imitative qualities of later works, \u003ci\u003eWriting in Dante’s Cult of Truth\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"María Rosa Menocal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616024224124,"sku":"9780822311041","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/missing-cover_cebcc7df-6178-443e-b8e4-52cacd7bb32a.jpg?v=1746711616","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/writing-in-dantes-cult-of-truth","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
