Vertical Readings in Dante's 'Comedy' is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approach has been pursued in a systematic fashion across the poem. This three-volume collection offers an unprecedented repertoire of vertical readings for the whole poem. Vertical reading not only articulates unexamined connections between the three canticles but also unlocks engaging new ways to enter into core concerns of the poem. The three volumes thereby provide an indispensable resource for scholars, students and enthusiasts of Dante.
Dante Alighieri, --- Criticism, Textual. --- Italian literature --- Commedia --- vertical readings --- Inferno --- comparative --- Purgatorio --- Paradiso --- Italian poetry

"Medieval literature and art abounds in descriptions of grotesque torments being meted out to the unhappy dead. But how can pain be experienced in the absence of the body? ... This book brings to life many of the intellectual clashes, beginning with Augustine's foundational yet troubling doctrines, proceeding to the problems caused by Aristotle's insistence that death kills off all sense and sensation, and culminating in a fresh reading of Dante's Purgatorio, Canto XXV..." -- Back cover.
