The essays shed light on a series of "encounters" of eminent Polish writers with Dante and the Divine Comedy, resulting in original interpretations, creative reworkings, and a wealth of intertextual references testifying to a dialogue that has always been - and still is - alive, not excluding antagonism and bitter controversy. The authors of the essays are all scholars of Polish literature with comparative expertise, teaching in Italian and Polish universities, which ensures a consistently focused point of view on the receptive context and the ways in which it is affected by the confrontation with Dante. The hermeneutic horizon ranges from the Inferno-like reading of the inhuman lands with which history abounds, to the metaphysical yearning underlying Dante's "poetics of transhumanizing", to recent perspectives related to the posthuman and storytelling"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003333524 ER -
