About This Item
Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1981. first edition. hardcover. Book VG+: clean, square, tight, unmarked./DJ VG: mild rubbing, toning, NOT clipped.. 8vo 239pp. from front flap: "The overwhelming concentration on questions of allegory in Dante studies, Franco Masciandaro contends, has come at the expense of considerations of the poem's literal dimension. And while the dramatic quality of the Divine Comedy is often recognized, few critics have made it the object of sustained inquiry. In Dante as Dramatist, Masciandaro refocuses on the "poetry of the theatre" in the Commedia by examining Dante's interpretation of the myth of the Earthly Paradise as it is represented in a number of key episodes of Inferno and Purgatorio." #02346.
