    Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them; there is no third. Understanding Dante attempts to explain and justify T. S. Eliots bold claim. John Scott offers readers at all levels a critical overview of Dantes writings: five chapters deal with his New Life of love and poetry (Vita Nova), the Banquet of knowledge (Convivio), his Latin treatise on language and poetics (De Vulgari Eloquentia), Italian lyrics (Rime), and his blueprint for world government (Monarchia). The next five chapters concentrate on Dantes masterpiece, the Comedy: its structure, Dantes worldview (still relevant today), and the Comedy examined as a poem. Much has been written on Dantes moral, political, and religious ideas; important as these are, however, such discussions are perforce limited. It is above all as a work of poetry that the Divine Comedy maintains its appeal and fascination to readers of all backgrounds and beliefs. /// Firmly grounded in the latest advances of Dante scholarship, Understanding Dante offers an original and uniquely detailed, global analysis of Dante as poet of the Comedy that will be welcomed by those who read the poem in translation as well as by those who study the original Italian text. At the same time, Scotts book will be welcome for its rich and insightful analysis of the whole corpus of Dantes writings, as well as Scotts mastery of the vast sea of critical literature in various languages. Scott bridges the gap that often exists between Dante studies in English-speaking countries and the great tradition of Dante scholarship in the poets homeland. No work in English about the great Italian poet can rival Understanding Dantes scope in both depth and breadth of close reading and critical vision.
