While The Structure And Themes Of The Divine Comedy Are Defined By The Narrative Of A Spiritual Pilgrimage Guided By Christian Truth, Winthrop Wetherbees Remarkable New Study Reveals That Dantes Engagement With The Great Latin Poets Vergil, Ovid, Lucan, And Statius Constitutes A Second, Complementary Narrative Centered On Psychological And Artistic Selfdiscovery.This Fresh, Illuminating Approach Departs From The Usual Treatment Of Classical Poets In Dante Criticism, Which Assigns Them A Merely Allegorical Function. Their True Importance To Dantes Project Is Much Greater. As Wetherbee Meticulously Shows, Dantes Use Of The Poets Is Grounded In An Astute Understanding Of Their Historical Situation And A Deeply Sympathetic Reading Of Their Poetry.Dante May Have Been Motivated To Correct Pagan Thought And Imagery, But More Pervasive Was His Desire To Recreate Classical Style And To Restore Classical Auctoritas To His Own Times. Dantes Journey In The Commedia, Beginning With The Pilgrims Assumption Of A Tragic View Of The Human Condition, Progresses With The Great Poetry Of The Classical Past As An Intrinsic Component Ofnot Just A Foil Tothe Spiritual Experience. Dante Ultimately Recognizes Classical Poetry As An Essential Means To His Discovery Of Truth.A Stunning Contribution By One Of The Nations Leading Medievalists, Wetherbees Investigation Of The Poems Classicism Makes Possible An Ethical And Spiritual But Nonchristian Reading Of Dante, One That Will Spur New Research And Become An Indispensable Tool For Teaching The Commedia.
