Dante ‘davanti a la ruina’ ( Inferno v , 34)
After discussing why Minos and the domain he overlooks seem similarly compounded from rational and unintelligible elements, I argue that the ‘ruina’ before which the lustful curse in Canto v of Inferno refers to both the ‘hellish whirlwind’ that torments the sinners and the scree (also called ‘ruina’) the pilgrim sidles down following his encounter with the Minotaur. Topographical and figural, Dante’s ‘ruin’ is political as well; the terms ‘ruina…

In rhetoric and dialectic, topoi were places where one discovered strategies of persuasion and demon…
The Cast of Character
This book is concerned with the idea of character and the methods of representing it in ancient and medieval narrative fiction, and shows how late classical and medieval authors adopted techniques and perspectives from rhetoric, philosophy, and sometimes theology to fashion figures who define not only themselves but also their readers.
