rethinking reception in Victorian literary culture
Dante beyond influence is the first study to conceptualize and historicize the hermeneutic turn in Dante reception history and Victorian cultural history, charting its development across intellectual realms, agents and forms of readerly and writerly engagement. Unearthing previously unseen manuscript and print evidence, the book conducts a material and book-historical inquiry into the formation and popularization of the critical and scholarly discourse on Dante through Victorian periodicals, mass-publishing, traditional and Extramural higher education. The book demonstrates that the transformation of Dante from object of amateur interest (dantophilia) to subject of systematic interpretive endeavors (dantismo) reflected paradigmatic changes in Victorian intellectual and sociocultural history.
Includes bibliographical references (pages [205]-232) and index.
