Starring Dante
This essay offers an example of a guiding thread in my own research on and teaching of Dante's Commedia. Specifically, I will follow a strand that leads us from Dante's encounter with the "bella scola" of classical poets in Inferno Canto 4, through a key scene in the Purgatorio where Dante and his guide Virgil meet the late classical poet Statius, to the remarkable six-canto suite in the Heaven of the Stars, sign of Gemini, in which Dante-poet ha…
Ariosto's Bitter Harmony
