Recenzii

"Scott, a leading Dante scholar, has written a useful, comprehensive book that will appeal to a broad audience. . . . Genuinely impressive for the amount of information it provides and for its sensitive analysis of Dante's writings, this book is obviously the distillation of decades of dedicated study and teaching by one of the giants of world literature. The concise, lucid, and elegant prose does justice to its subject and makes it a book that will enrich any library and any reader. Essential." 
 

"Scott explains the fundamental ideas we need to comprehend in order to read all of Dante's works, from the poet's fundamental choice between writing in Latin or the vernacular, to his complex and probably varying conception of allegory. Scott's account of these ideas serves as an excellent general introduction to the poet; but it also conveys and renders accessible many of the major scholarly debates about Dante. . . . [His] book gives English-speaking readers the richest and clearest account in any language of Dante's entire oeuvre. . . ." 
 

“. . . No one has done for Homer what John A. Scott has now done for Dante in Understanding Dante.  An Australian scholar, Scott is one of the world’s leading Dantisti. In this summa of his career he has written a commanding, elegant overview of Dante’s works, analyzing his historical context; his political, moral, and religious ideas; the structure and texture of his writing; and the state of Dante scholarship. Scott has accomplished the nearly impossible: he has married close interpretation with broad synthesis—and in clear, often vigorous prose. This is a significant and deeply satisfying book.”
