EARLY REVIEWS FOR DANTE'S HEART "Dante's Heart is like Clive Barker, Octavio Paz, and Dante Alighieri are playing D&D together. Lush stuff and more imaginative than most fantasy fare." - Marc McDermott "Dante's Heart isn't as much a story as it is an epic poem. Visually and emotionally evocative, it seems to be this gifted author’s heartfelt rumination on pain, loss, and the human propensity toward violence. To read it is to step through an oil painting into another world. But beware: Once there, you may have trouble finding your way back out. Not that you'll necessarily want to, because Dante's Heart is both terrifyingly and achingly beautiful." – Michael Whiteman Jones REVIEWS FOR STANT LITORE'S PREVIOUS FICTION "Heartbreaking and wonderful." – Conflictium "I find myself riveted to Stant's prose, not only because I'm eager to find out the characters' fate but because his words are so beautiful. The story has stayed with me days after reading it. I highly recommend." – Denise Grover Swank, author of The Curse Keepers "To say I loved this book would be an understatement. I could not put it down." – The Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Stant Litore may be SF's premier poet of loneliness." – Jason Kirk, author of Reverb and The Other Whites in South Africa "Litore's stories aren't only entertaining. They are stories invading our lives, unexpectedly. You encounter them, as you might encounter people. They are those random elements in life that happen to you, like a mugging, like childbirth, like falling in love and marriage, like death and the funeral that follows. They are moments that leave a mark, and leave you changed." – Andrew Hallam, Ph.D., Metropolitan State University of Denver "Stant eloquently writes passages that are so moving, full of passion, fury, loneliness, blind drive … He takes us to places of amazing beauty, awe-inspiring, as well as places where the implications in the story can leave you almost in despair for the human race." – Nikki Ebright, Director, Shiny Garden

Book excerpt: Drawing from the works of Dante, Catherine of Siena, Boccaccio, Aquinas, and Cavalcanti and other literary, philosophic, and scientific texts, Heather Webb studies medieval notions of the heart to explore the “lost circulations” of an era when individual lives and bodies were defined by their extensions into the world rather than as self-perpetuating, self-limited entities.

This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an interpretation of Maurice Scève’s lyric sequence Délie, object de plus haulte vertu (Lyon, 1544) in literary relation to the Vita nuova, Commedia, and other works of Dante Alighieri. Dante’s subtle influence on Scève is elucidated in depth for the first time, augmenting the allusions in Délie to the Canzoniere of Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). Scève’s sequence of dense, epigrammatic dizains is considered to be an early example, prior to the Pléiade poets, of French Renaissance imitation of Petrarch’s vernacular poetry, in a time when imitatio was an established literary practice, signifying the poet’s participation in a tradition. While the Canzoniere is an important source for Scève’s Délie, both works are part of a poetic lineage that includes Occitan troubadours, Guinizzelli, Cavalcanti, and Dante. The book situates Dante as a relevant predecessor and source for Scève, and examines anew the Petrarchan label for Délie. Compelling poetic affinities emerge between Dante and Scève that do not correlate with Petrarch.

Download or read book Dante s Dream written by Gwenyth E. Hood and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archetypal images, Carl Jung believed, when elaborated in tales and ceremonies, shape culture’s imagination and behavior. Unfortunately, such cultural images can become stale and lose their power over the mind. But an artist or mystic can refresh and revive a culture’s imagination by exploring his personal dream-images and connecting them to the past. Dante Alighieri presents his Divine Comedy as a dream-vision, carefully establishing the date at which it came to him (Good Friday, 1300), and maintaining the perspective of that time and place, throughout the work, upon unfolding history. Modern readers will therefore welcome a Jungian psychoanalytical approach, which can trace both instinctual and spiritual impulses in the human psyche. Some of Dante’s innovations (admission of virtuous pagans to Limbo) and individualized scenes (meeting personal friends in the afterlife) more likely spring from unconscious inspiration than conscious didactic intent. For modern readers, a focus on Dante’s personal dream-journey may offer the best way into his poem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the captivating journey through the life and legacy of Dante Alighieri, a name that echoes across the centuries. In this book, we'll unravel the fascinating tale of a man whose words ignited the flames of thought, bridging worlds of literature, philosophy, and culture. Dante Alighieri (May 21 or June 21, 1265 – September 13 or 14, 1321) was a renowned Italian poet and author, widely considered to be one of the greatest writers in the Italian language and one of the fathers of Italian literature. His epic poem "The Divine Comedy" is an allegorical journey through the afterlife, exploring themes of sin, redemption, and divine love. Dante Alighieri, born in the charming city of Florence, Italy, in the year 1265, was not merely a poet or writer – he was a visionary whose thoughts etched upon pages transformed the way we perceive the world. His life was woven into the fabric of an era marked by political upheaval, intellectual ferment, and spiritual quest. Imagine a young boy, with curious eyes and eager ears, soaking in the stories and lessons of his time. This humble beginning laid the foundation for a literary masterpiece that would endure the test of ages – "The Divine Comedy." Through its verses, Dante embarked on a journey of the soul, venturing through the fiery depths of Hell, the cleansing paths of Purgatory, and the celestial heights of Paradise. But Dante's journey was not confined to the realms of his imagination. It traversed the landscapes of his reality – the tumultuous politics of Florence, his exile from the city he loved, and his encounters with fellow thinkers, both friendly and hostile. Each chapter of his life is a thread intricately woven into the tapestry of human history. As we embark on this journey together, I, a historian with over four decades of exploration in the realms of history, am here to guide you. My deep-rooted knowledge and passion for unraveling the past will illuminate the corners of Dante's life that have often remained in the shadows. So, let's embark on this adventure – a voyage that will navigate through the twists and turns of Dante's life, reveal the wisdom embedded in his words, and reflect upon the relevance of his thoughts in our modern world. As we turn the pages, let us absorb the essence of a man whose influence knows no bounds, a poet whose verses continue to resonate across the ages.
