And until now, students of the Inferno have lacked a suitable resource to guide their reading. -- Welcome to Danteworlds, the first substantial guide to the Inferno in English. Guy P. Raffa takes readers on a geographic journey through Dante's underworld from the Dark Wood down to the ninth circle of Hellin much the same way Dante and Virgil proceed in their infernal descent. Each chapteror "region"of the book begins with a summary of the action, followed by detailed entries, significant verses, and useful study questions. The entries, based on a close examination of the poet's biblical, classical, and medieval sources, help locate the characters and creatures Dante encounters and assist in decoding the poem's vast array of references to religion, philosophy, history, politics, and other works of literature. -- Written by an established Dante scholar and tested in the fire of extensive classroom experience, Danteworlds will be an indispensable resource for readers at all levels of expertise, from students and general readers to teachers and scholars. -- "Drawing on Dante dictionaries, early commentaries, and many of the poet's chief sources, Guy Raffa provides lucid, concise information on all the major persons, deities, and creatures encountered by Dante in the course of his journey. This book is ideally suited for first-time readers of the poem, who will be able to consult Danteworlds for a wealth of particulars. It is an intelligently conceived, very handy guide which will appeal to a broad audience." ISBN 9780226702681 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 270 14,0 x 1,3 x 21,6 cm, Broschiert / Paperback.
