Daniel DiMassa

Dante in Deutschland

An Itinerary of Romantic Myth

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Around 1800, German Romantics fixated on Dante's Divine Comedy as a model for the creation of a new mythology of reason. This book traces that fixation across Romantic and Neo-Romantic texts, showing how the Romantic Dante cult in fact generated ominous amalgams of art, myth, and fascism in the twentieth century.
