Book VG+: mild foxing to endpapers else clean, square, tight, unmarked/DJ VG+: mild shelf wear, NOT clipped.. 8vo 138pp. from rear flap: "Foundation Sacrifice in Dante's "Commedia" is the first book to take an anthropological approach to the Divine Comedy, applying it to a previously unexplored dimension of Dante's great poem. Ricardo Quinones examines foundation sacrifice--the death of another that has become a parable for existence--as a unifying theme that connects the three parts of the poem. In the process, Quinones gives new life to the Purgatorio, treating it not only as a sequel but actually as a dramatic response--in revealing detail--to the Inferno. His motif allows him to reintegrate the Paradiso into the poem as a whole, thus restoring it as a poetic event to critical appreciation." #02344.
