Dante and the Making of a Modern Author 🔍
Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing), 1 edition, March 31, 2008
Albert Russell Ascoli 🔍
description
Leading scholar Albert Russell Ascoli traces the metamorphosis of Dante Alighieri - minor Florentine aristocrat, political activist and exile, amateur philosopher and theologian, and daring experimental poet - into Dante, author of the Divine Comedy and perhaps the most self-consciously 'authoritative' cultural figure in the Western canon. The text offers a comprehensive introduction to Dante's evolving, transformative relationship to medieval ideas of authorship and authority from the early Vita Nuova through the unfinished treatises, The Banquet and On Vernacular Eloquence, to the works of his maturity, Monarchy and the Divine Comedy. Ascoli reveals how Dante anticipates modern notions of personalized, creative authorship and the phenomenon of 'Renaissance self-fashioning'. Unusually, the book examines Dante's career as a whole offering an important point of access not only to the Dantean oeuvre, but also to the history and theory of authorship in the larger Italian and European tradition.

<p>the First Comprehensive Study Of Dante's Evolving, Transformative Relationship To Medieval Ideas Of Authorship And Authority.</p><h3>t.l. Cooksey - Library Journal</h3><p><p>dante Stands As The First Modern Author. That Said, The Medieval Conception Of <i>author</i> Differs From Our Own Modern-day Understanding Of The Word. Throughout His Works, Dante Was Deeply Concerned With Defining The Nature Of Authorship And The Role Of His Own Authority As A Cultural Operator, Especially With Regard To The Authority Of The Poet On Matters Political And Theological. Here, Ascoli (italian Studies, Univ. Of California, Berkeley), Who Has Authored Numerous Books And Articles On Dante, Machiavelli, And Ariosto, Offers A Magisterial Treatment Of Dante's Evolving Conception Of <i>author</i>. He Historicizes And Contextualizes The Term While Tracing Dante's Active Redefinition Of It. Ascoli Pays Special Attention To Dante's Earlier Works And Their Anticipation Of His Seminal <i>the Divine Comedy</i>. Thoroughly Grounded In The Primary And Secondary Literature, Ascoli's Text Is Accessible Even To The Interested Nonspecialist. An Important Contribution To Dante Studies; Highly Recommended For All Academic Libraries.</p>
