Dante's ｫCommediaｻ and the Liturgical Imagination - Paperback
by Matthew Treherne (Other), Claire E. Honess (Other), Matthew Treherne (Author)
Medieval liturgical practice had a deep and far-reaching influence on thought and experience of the time. This book argues that Dante's engagement with liturgy is central to the daring and highly original poetic project of the Commedia, shaping its treatment of time, its engagement with theology, and its portrayal of the soul's awakening.
