Jan M. Ziolkowski

This series publishes innovative and original work of a historicist bent

on cultural and literary ﬁgures and intellectual currents of thirteenth-

and fourteenth-century Italy.

“Dante’s World” embraces work on all aspects of the literary cultures

thriving on the Italian peninsula in the two centuries straddled by

Dante’s life. The series treats authors from Giacomo da Lentini and

Guido Cavalcanti to Boccaccio and Petrarca. Books in the series con-

sider theological, social, historical, economic, and philological topics

and explore gender, rhetoric, and material culture.

Although this series extends well beyond Dante, at its methodological

core is an attempt to reverse the essentialism that has been an abiding

feature of Dante exegesis. Against that tradition, “Dante’s World”

brings together a body of critical readings that are historically engaged

and hermeneutically complex.
