In This Groundbreaking Book, Alison Milbank Explains Why A Comprehension Of The Victorian Reception Of Dante Is Essential For A Full Understanding Of Victorianism As A Whole. Her Focus On This Muchneglected Topic Allows Her To Reconfigure The British Nineteenthcentury Understanding Of History, Nationalism, Aesthetics And Gender, And Their Often Strange Intersections. The Account Also Builds Towards A Demonstration That The Modernist Perpetuation Of The Dante Obsession Reveals An Equal Continuity With Many Aspects Of Victorianism.The Book Provides Not Only An Authoritative Introduction To These Important Cultural Themes, But Also A Rereading Of The Genealogy Of Literature In The Modern Period. Instead Of The Victorian Realism Challenged By Modernist Symbolism'S Attempts To Transcend Linear Time, Milbank Offers Us A Contrary, Continuous 'Danteism'.For Both The Victorians And The Modernists Dante Is The First Writer To Historicise, Fictionalise And Humanise The Eternal Role, And He Becomes Paradoxically The Means By Which History, Secularised Fiction And A Positivist Humanism Could Be Reconnected To A Lost Transcendent.Dante And The Victorians Provides The First Comprehensive Account Of Why The Reading Of Dante Was Central To Nineteenthcentury British Language And Culture.
