Dante's Bones

How a Poet Invented Italy

Beschreibung

Like a saintâ s relics, Danteâ s bones have been stolen, exhumed, and worshiped. Guy Raffa narrates the Florentine poetâ s hereafterâ the physical afterlife of the writer who vividly imagined the spiritual afterlife. In the story of the bones lies the tale of Danteâ s evolution from Renaissance to Italian to nationalist hero, and finally global icon.
