| Summary: | This volume provides the first systematic study of the translation and reception of Dante's Vita Nova in the Anglophone world, reconstructing for the first time the contexts and genesis of its English-language afterlife from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Dante is one of the foremost authors of the Western canon, and his Vita Nova has been repeatedly translated into English over the past two centuries. However, there exists no comprehensive account of the critical, scholarly and creative English-language reception of Dante's work. This collection brings together scholars from Dante studies, translation studies, English studies and book history to examine the translation and reception of the Vita Nova among modern English-speaking publics, in both academic and non-academic contexts, and thus represents a major contribution to Dante studies. This volume will be an essential reference point for scholars and students in English and Italian studies, literary and cultural studies and translation and reception studies in the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States and Italy, where Dante is taught and researched. |
