Recenzii

“Although the conjunction in the book’s title suggests a yoking together of the first two of the three crowns of Italian literature, the essays in the volume generally argue for their differentiation. . . . The volume as a whole grounds the reader in critical history even as it moves in ‘counterpoint’ with the respect both to prior critical consensus and to each other. . . . In sum, this is a superb volume, offering truly new work on veritable old masters.” —Renaissance Quarterly

"This outstanding collection of nine essays by leading Anglo-American scholars provides a rigorous re-examination of the relationship between these two towering cultural figures, focusing on three components ('Anti-Dantism,' 'Metaphysics,' and 'Tradition') of what is viewed as their substantive ideological opposition. . . . It is rare for a multi-authored volume of this kind to display not only such sustained excellence, but also such unflinching critical focus. It constitutes, without question, the most important existing contribution to our understanding of the two poets' relationship, and its authoritative and meticulously researched essays will deservedly remain fundamental points of reference for a long time to come." —Modern Language Review

"This magisterial volume . . . brings together significant new contributions to the debate by a number of major North American scholars of early Italian literature. It is the product of 'lungo studio' and 'grande amore'—both the love (and hate) that made Petrarch probe Dante's volume, despite his protestations to the contrary, and that drove the authors of the present tome. It is a big, ambitious book with nine essays that average over forty pages and are consistently strong and surprisingly varied . . . the volume . . . will doubtlessly be canonized by manifold articles and exam lists as the place to begin any discussion of the relations between Florence's first two crowns." —Italica

“Bringing together leading scholars of medieval studies, this highly readable and engaging volume presents original contributions. . . . Through a variety of methodological tools that bridge the study authorship, textuality, and linguistic and cultural politics, the essays each examine a particular strategy by which Petrarch sought to limit Dante’s authority, especially in vernacular terms and with respect to the metaphysical and religious claims of the Commedia. The question of exactly where the dialogue between Dante and Petrarch begins and ends remains open, but it is that open-endedness which the volume promotes as its greatest critical strength.” —Medium Aevum
