Divining The Undivine Comedy
Reflections and Recollections
My chapter has three intertwined aims: (i) to assess the significance and originality of The Undivine Comedy and counter the (often) partial and erroneous ways in which Dantists have referred to and made use of the book; (ii) to demonstrate Barolini’s intellectually and critically independent standing as a scholar of Dante in international terms; and (iii) to give examples of how The Undivine Comedy has influenced my research and thinking on Dante, while reflecting on my friendship with Teo that now spans nearly forty years.
