italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Well then, I have enough to get intrigued.
Francesca da Rimini is by far the most popular
character of the Commedia. I will ask my library
to order this catalogue. It is weird to write in
English with Italian culture scholars, però.

>>>Dante's critical fortunes at the Bodleian
>>>Library, Oxford. This exhibition and the
>>>accompanying catalogue was announced to this

>>>even more worthy of attention and contains
>>>many very penetrating chapters on Dante,
>>>Petrarch and Boccaccio (Italy's Three Crowns:
>>>Reading Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, ed.
>>>Zigmunt Baranski and Martin McLaughlin
>>>(Bodleian Library 2007)). The two outstanding
>>>contributions on the 19th-20th centuries are
>>>by John Woodhouse (on 'Dante and the Rossetti
>>>Family') and Diego Zancani ('Paget Toynbee's
>>>Dante Collection, which is fascinating but is
>>>straddles the centuries!!). The chapter by
>>>Alex McMillan on 'Dante's Nineteenth-Cenury
>>>Reception (which should provide the seed corn
>>>for the conference under discussion) is in
>>>fact very disappointing and raises many more
>>>questions than it answers; and it is the
>>>weakest of all the the other very good
>>>contributions. I would therfore counsel
>>>contributors to the York conference to read
>>>McMillan's chapter and to do better.
