(syllabus)
CLASSICAL AND ROMANCE POETS WITHIN THE ‘COMMEDIA’
The course aims to dwell on Dante's encounters with the great poets of the ancient world (Virgil, Homer and Statius) and the Romance tradition (Bertran de Born, Sordello, Forese Donati, Bonagiunta da Lucca, Guido Guinizzelli, Arnaut Daniel, Folchetto di Marsiglia) within the 'Commedia'. Particular attention will be paid also to the moments in which Dante brings himself into play as a poet within the poem (through references to his own lyric texts) and engages other poet figures (such as Ovid, Lucan and Terence on the classical side or Giacomo da Lentini, Guittone d'Arezzo, Guido Cavalcanti on the Romance side) evocated in the dialogues with other characters.
