This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... The number of definite passages, however, which show evidence of influence on the part of Dante is not so large as in the case of Byron and Shelley. In the Princess we have an allusion to the oft-quoted inscription over the Gate of Hell: How saw you not the inscription on the gate, Let no man enter in on pain of death; the lines in the Two Voices, My frozen heart began to beat, Remembering its ancient heat, seem to be a reminiscence of Lo gel che m' era intorno al cor ristretto, Spirito ed acqua fessi, (Purg., XXX, 97-8, ) and Conosco i segni dell' antica fiamma (ibid., 48). There is a very evident resemblance between Dante's discussion of Fortune1 and the Song of Fortune in Geraint and Enid: 1 Inf., VII, 73 ff., and line 95 of Canto XV: Pert giri fortuna la sua ruota. Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel and lower the proud; Turn thy wild wheel thro' sunshine, storm, and cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel with smile or frown; With that wild wheel we go not up or down; Our hoard is little, but our hearts are great. Smile and we smile, the lords of many lands; Frown and we smile, the lords of our own hands; For man is man and master of his fate.1 Turn, turn thy wheel above the staring crowd; Thy wheel and thou are shadows in the cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. In Locksley Hall occur the well-known lines, Comfort? Comfort scorn'd of devils! this is true the poet sings, That a sorrow's crown of sorrows is remembering happier things, and in the Palace of Art, among the "paintings of wise men" which the poet hung The royal dais round, 1 This line evidently inspired the oft-quoted verse of W. E. Henley: I am the master of ray fate. was one in which the world-worn Dante grasp'd his...

Dante's work has fascinated readers for seven hundred years and has provided key reference points for writing as diverse as that of Chaucer, the Renaissance poets, the English Romantics, Tennyson and the Pre-Raphaelites, American writers from Melville through to Eliot and Pound, Anglo-Irish Modernists from Joyce to Beckett, and contemporary poets such as Heaney and Walcott. In this volume, Jeremy Tambling has selected ten recent essays from the mass of Dante studies, and put the Divine Comedy - Dante's record of a journey to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - into context for the modern reader. Topics such as Dante's allegory, his relationship to classical and modern poetry, his treatment of love and of sexuality, his attitudes to Florence and to his contemporary Italy, are explored and clarified through a selection of work by some of the best scholars in the field. An introduction and notes help the reader to situate the criticism, and to relate it to contemporary literary theory. In this anthology, Dante's relevance to both English and Italian literature is highlighted, and the significance of Dante for poetry in English is illuminated for the modern reader. This book provides students of English literature and Italian literature with the most comprehensive collection of important critical studies of Dante to date.

This book is a history of the influence of Dante on English poetry. The focus us not primarily upon stylistic influences or attempts to imitate Dante's manner of writing, but rather on the different guises in which the enormous presence of Dante has made itself felt, and how that presence has affected some of the central concerns of the poets in question. The poets considered are Shelley, Byron, Browning, Rossetti, Yeats, Pound and Eliot. In addition to analysing the way Dante is approached by these poets in their major poetry, Dr Ellis also discusses relevant critical works: Shelley's Defence of Poetry, Pound's The Spirit of Romance and Yeats' A Vision. The critical survey is unified by the attempt to show certain recurrent preoccupations in the work of these writers, such as the need to define a tradition in which Dante is a necessary forerunner. Ellis also shows that Dante has been read in a very partial way by these poets and the images of him which emerge in their works are inevitably varied and contradictory.
