This book offers a collection of South African university students' written responses to the Commedia and scholars' commentary on them. The students' collection includes writings of all genres and subjects: prose, poetry, personal reflection, dialogue, non-fiction based on the first two cantiche of the Commedia. Some are autobiographical and others are fictional stories, but they all have in common a very personal (and South African) approach to Dante's text. The scholarly essays of the second part are concerned with the unusual way in which Dante is appreciated by our youth: not as a remote figure only encountered in the hallways of the literature department, but as an intimate presence, a guide, a friend whose language is familiar and invites a response.

Elemento centrale della vita delle società umane nell'età medievale, le "selve oscure" di dantesca memoria potevano essere usate come potenti metafore letterarie, ma rappresentavano anche spazi ecologici, nicchie di biodiversità, risorse economiche e oggetti di tutela giuridica. Per questo si propongono quale luogo per eccellenza di dialogo interdisciplinare. Le ricerche qui raccolte presentano alcuni dei molteplici approcci possibili allo studio dei boschi nell'Italia dei secoli XIII e XIV, coinvolgendo storici e storiche della letteratura e dell'arte, della cultura e della società, dell'economia e delle istituzioni, nonché studiosi e studiose di botanica, archeologia e paleobotanica.

Originally published in 1977. This volume recovers the allegory in Dante's Divine Comedy and presumes that readers' deficient knowledge of or interest in allegory have led to misinterpretations of Dante's poem. None of the dozens of commentaries on the Comedy published in the first half of the twentieth century was concerned with allegory more than sporadically, says Singleton, and so these treatments directed readers' attention to the merest disjecta membra of that continuous dimension of the poem. From Singleton's perspective, the allegory of the Comedy is an imitation of Biblical allegory, which was acknowledged by thinkers in the Middle Ages but not by intellectuals during and following the Renaissance. Singleton attempts to restore the allegorical elements to the foreground of interpreting the Comedy.

La letteratura in laboratorio raccoglie 12 Pamphlet pubblicati dal Literary Lab dell'Università di Stanford sotto la direzione del suo fondatore, Franco Moretti, dal 2011 al 2017. Con i suoi lavori, già tradotti in diverse lingue, il Literary Lab di Moretti ha aperto un nuovo capitolo nel rapporto tra gli studi letterari e le risorse digitali dando vita a un nuovo approccio critico i testi. Moretti e il suo gruppo di co-autori hanno messo al centro dei loro esperimenti la letteratura nella materia da cui è costituita, il linguaggio, e hanno condotto approfondite indagini su banche dati esistenti e su corpus creati in modo autonomo. Franco Moretti ha arricchito gli studi letterari dando vita sia a un metodo teorico sia a una precisa procedura tecnica applicata alla letteratura. I saggi che compongono questa raccolta spaziano dalla dimensione microlinguistica a quella delle forme e dei generi attraverso una serie di analisi quantitative che permettono di accrescere, migliorare e rendere più precisa la comprensione della storia e della teoria della letteratura.

In a celebratory moment of the Paradiso, Dante has Thomas go round the circle of sage spirits identifying each in turn in point of proper calling and confirming how it is that self is everywhere present to the other-than-self as a co-efficient of being in the endless and endlessly varied instantiation of that being. The image, at once perfectly Dantean and perfectly resplendent, underlies and informs these conversations of mine with Kenelm; for if in reading and rereading the cherished text, I have from time to time felt the need to enter a qualification, it is a matter here, as in the high consistory of paradise, of otherness as both contained and as authorized by sameness, as conditioned and set free by it for a life of its own. Never, in other words, is it a question in what follows of the stark alternativism of the sed contra, but instead a matter of formed friendship, of the kind of friendship which, conceived in love, makes for a sweet choreography of the spirit.
