Reading Dante

Viac o knihe

Thematic coherence in Dante's Divina Commedia is explored through a systematic parallel reading of its three parts: Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. Jesper Hede challenges the traditional view that the poem's unity lies in its narrative of an afterworld journey. Instead, he posits that the vision of divine order serves as the key to understanding the poem's overarching themes, offering a fresh perspective on Dante's work and its intricate structure.
