HAWKINSBoston UniversityIn A BRIEF HISTORY OF DANTE, Peter S.Hawkins brings the great Italian writerDante Alighieri to life. Drawing on over 30years’ experience of teaching and writingabout Dante, he introduces newcomers tothe poet and his masterpiece, theCommedia.Hawkins starts by offering a brief accountof the poet’s life and works thatdemonstrates the importance of Dante’spersonal story to his writing, and byoutlining the story of the Commedia.Hethen goes on to consider the prominenceDante gives to eros as part of spiritual life,and to probe his idiosyncraticinterpretation of Christian theology.Finally, he traces how, over the centuries,Dante has been portrayed variously as alover, a statesman, a Neo-Platonist, aproto-Protestant Reformer, a Romanticvisionary, a Byronic hero, a Pre-Raphaelite,the father of his country, a theologian inverse, and ‘altissimo poeta’, theconsummate poet.SERIES: BLACKWELL BRIEF HISTORIES OF RELIGION200 PAGES1-4051-3051-2 HB / 1-4051-3052-0 PB / JUNE 2006A Brief History ofryofSaints,ASaintsLawrencengham,LAWRENCECuniS.
