italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear M.J.Treherne:
I would certainly be interested in participating in this conference. I am
author of Dante and the Orient (University of Illinois Press, 2002),
which is precisely a study of the interconnection of theology and
poetry in Dante's Commedia.

> This international conference, supported by the Department of
Italian and
> the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University, aims to encourage
> dialogue between the disciplines of Dante studies and theology.
By
> bringing together specialists and researchers in the two fields, the
> conference will explore two related questions. First, what are the
> theological implications of Dante's poetic narrative? Second, what
light
> do theological considerations throw on Dante's poem as a literary
text?
> Taking either a medieval or a contemporary perspective, speakers
will
> offer readings of the Commedia which: a) examine Dante's poem
as a
> theological enterprise; or b) explore the intersection in Dante's
poem
> between theological and literary concerns.
>
> At present, the programme includes the following participants:
>
> Zygmunt Baranski (Cambridge University)
> Piero Boitani (University of Rome, La Sapienza)
