Recenzii
“If one is looking for an understanding of Dante’s cosmos informed in equal parts by Walter Benjamin, George Herbert, and Ptolemy, it is to be found in Tambling’s book. … his book undeniably shows that ideas explored in Paradiso continue to matter beyond Dante’s own immediate context.” (Aistė Kiltinavičiūtė, Modern Language Review, Vol. 117 (3), July, 2022)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
“Professor Tambling adds an original voice to the current surge of interest in what
makes Dante’s Paradiso uniquely intriguing, even in comparison to the Inferno
and Purgatorio. He directly engages the question that haunts the poem: can
authentic human hope sustain itself on its spacewalk through the material
universe, even if it cannot foresee its end?”
—Francis J. Ambrosio, Georgetown University, USA
This book argues that Paradiso – Dante’s vision of Heaven – is not simply
affirmative. It posits that Paradiso compensates for disappointment rather than
fulfils hopes, and where it moves into joy and vision, this also rationalises the experience of exile and the failure of all Dante’s political hopes. The book
highlights and addresses a fundamental problem in reading Dante: the assumption
that he writes as a Catholic Christian, which can be off-putting and induces an
overly theological and partisan reading in some commentary. Accordingly, the
study argues that Dante must be read now in a post-Christian modernity. It
discusses Dante’s Christianity fully, and takes its details as a source of wonder
and beauty which need communicating to a modern reader. Yet, the study also
argues that we must read for the alterity of Dante’s world from ours.
