    *Written by an expert Dante scholar
    *Provides new translations of substantial passages from Dante’s poems and from the world of his contemporaries
    *Includes explanatory diagrams of Dante’s 'other-worlds', and a section of illustrations by medieval and modern artists
    *Builds a vivid and complex picture of Dante's imagination, intellect and literary presence
    *Helpful bibliographies include relevant web resources

  • Nick Havely has taught courses on Dante and on medieval literature for over thirty years at the University of York. His published work on Italian trecento poetry began with a volume of translations: Chaucer's Boccaccio: Sources for Troilus and the Knight's and Franklin's Tales (1980; reissued 1992) and includes Dante's Modern Afterlife: Reception and Response from Blake to Heaney (1998) and Dante and the Franciscans: Poverty and the Papacy in the 'Commedia' (2004). He has recently been awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship for his next project, which is a study entitled Dante in the English-Speaking World, from the Fourteenth Century to the Present.
