Issue 70: Dante's Guide to Heaven and Hell Dante and the Divine Comedy: Did You Know? What a famous painting suggests about Dante's life, legend, and legacy. Big Man in the Cosmos A giant in the world of which he wrote, laurel-crowned Dante stands holding his Divine Comedy open to the first lines: "Midway this way of life we're bound upon, / I woke to find myself in a dark wood, / Where the right road was wholly lost and gone." Of course, his copy reads in Italian. Dante was the first major writer in Christendom to pen lofty literature in everyday language rather than in formal Latin. Coming 'Round the Mountain Behind Dante sits multi-tiered Mount Purgatory. An angel guards the gate, which stands atop three steps: white marble for confession, cracked black stone for contrition, and red porphyry for Christ's blood sacrifice. With his sword, the angel marks each penitent's forehead with seven p's (from Latin peccatum, "sin") for the Seven Deadly Sins. When these wounds are washed away by penance, the soul may enter earthly paradise at the mountain's summit. Starry Heights In Paradiso, the third section of the Comedy, Dante visits the planets and constellations where blessed souls dwell. The celestial spheres look vague in this painting, but Dante had great interest in astronomy. One of his astronomical references still puzzles scholars. He notes "four stars, the same / The first men saw, and since, no living eye" (Purgatorio, I.23-24), apparently in reference to the Southern Cross. But that constellation was last visible at Dante's latitude (thanks to the earth's wobbly axis) in 3000 B.C., and no one else wrote about it in Europe until after Amerigo Vespucci's voyage in 1501. -
Inferno Canto 05
!Inferno: Canto 5! pg.1 Entrance to Second Circle - Minos - Good Friday Night THE STORY. Dante and Virgil descend from the First Circle to the Second (the first of the Circle of Incontinence). On the threshold sits Minos, the judge of Hell, assigning the souls to their appropriate places of torment. His opposition is overcome by Virgil's word of power, and the Poets enter the Circle, where the souls of the Lustful are tossed for ever upon a howling wind. After Virgil has pointed out a number of famous lovers, Dante speaks to the shade of Francesca da Rimini, who tells him her story. From the first circle thus I came descending To the second, which, in narrower compass turning, Holds greater woe, with outcry loud and rending. There in the threshold, horrible and girning,!4 Grim Minos sits, holding his ghastly session, And, as he girds him, sentencing and spurning; For when the ill soul faces him, confession!7 Pours out of it till nothing's left to tell; Whereon that connoisseur of all transgression Assigns it to its proper place in hell,!10 As many grades as he would have it fall, So oft he belts him round with his own tail. Before him stands a throng continual;!13 Each comes in turn to abye the fell arraign; They speak - they hear- they're whirled down one and all. "Ho! thou that comest to the house of pain,"!16 Cried Minos when he saw me, the appliance Of his dread powers suspending, "think again How thou dost go, in whom is thy reliance;!19 Be not deceived by the wide open door!" Then said my guide: "Wherefore this loud defiance? Hinder not thou his fated way; be sure!22 Hindrance is vain; thus it is willed where will And power are one; enough; ask thou no more." And now the sounds of grief begin to fill!25 My ear; I'm come where cries of anguish smite My shrinking sense, and lamentation shrill - A place made dumb of every glimmer of light,!28 Which bellows like tempestuous ocean birling In the batter of a two-way wind's buffet and fight. -

To prepare for such a venture, we will address various issues at work in the field of film adaptation from writers such as André Bazin, Linda Hutcheon and Thomas Leitch, in addition to some practical dimensions from Linda Segar’s manual. We will also consider the cinema’s own natural predisposition towards adaptation, debate the value of remaining faithful to the original literary text versus betraying it, updating it, or exploiting its power to spur the imagination in unexpected ways, and ultimately as practitioners to experiment with the process by which “the spirit” of a literary work can be adapted and perhaps rendered complete by cinematic embodiment. -
A Comment on Doré's Illustrations of Dante (Inferno)
A Comment on Doré’s Illustrations of Dante (Inferno) Connor McDonald, Independent Scholar Dante Notes, 13 March 2019 During my childhood, my mother assigned classic literature as part of an informal education. The Bible, Shakespeare, and eventually Dante. She purchased an Easton Press copy for my benefit, and I remember being handed and holding the leather and accented gold with reverence, delicately turning the archival paper at the corner of the page. Along with Blake’s illustrations, we would examine the woodblock engravings of Doré in a stark, 9 x 12 paperback by Dover Publications, each engraving placed neatly in context by lines translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.1 I remember feeling troubled by Doré’s illustrations of Dante, his cold and unyielding gaze upon the gluttons and the aristocrat Farinata and the bloody cries of Pier delle Vigne, always a sufferance that seemed unreflective of Dante’s emotion and humility within the text. Only later did I understand that Doré had captured for his audience the nuanced distinction between empathy and sympathy in the face of Dante, a distinction that further captured the artist’s admiration for the poet. Sympathy, “the quality or state of being thus affected by the suffering or sorrow of another” from the Latin sympathia and Ancient Greek συμπαθής “to suffer with” (Oxford English Dictionary, n. 3.c.). Empathy, “the ability to understand and appreciate another person” after the German Einfühlung “feeling into” (Oxford English Dictionary, n. 2.b.). The attention that Doré’s illustrations draw to the distinction between these definitions, through the often-unaffected face of Dante, reveals a conclusion within the text of Inferno itself: the sympathizer does not truly understand the individual that affects a state of suffering. -

Dante's Inferno</H1>
Dante's Inferno Dante's Inferno The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri Translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Volume 1 This is all of Longfellow's Dante translation of Inferno minus the illustrations. It includes the arguments prefixed to the Cantos by the Rev. Henry Frances Carey, M,.A., in his well-known version, and also his chronological view of the age of Dante under the title of What was happening in the World while Dante Lived. If you find any correctable errors please notify me. My email addresses for now are [email protected] and [email protected]. David Reed Editorial Note page 1 / 554 A lady who knew Italy and the Italian people well, some thirty years ago, once remarked to the writer that Longfellow must have lived in every city in that county for almost all the educated Italians "talk as if they owned him." And they have certainly a right to a sense of possessing him, to be proud of him, and to be grateful to him, for the work which he did for the spread of the knowledge of Italian Literature in the article in the tenth volume on Dante as a Translator. * * * * * The three volumes of "The Divine Comedy" were printed for private purposes, as will be described later, in 1865-1866 and 1877, but they were not actually given to the public until the year last named. Naturally enough, ever since Longfellow's first visit to Europe (1826-1829), and no doubt from an eariler date still, he had been interested in Dante's great work, but though the period of the incubation of his translation was a long one, the actual time engaged in it, was as he himself informs us, exactly two years. -

Za úsvitu se pokouší z něho vyjít, zamíří k vrchu ozářenému sluncem, ale tři šelmy (pardál – smyslnost, lev – pýcha a vlčice – lakota) mu brání v cestě. Málem se zřítil do propasti, jak před nimi ustupoval. A tu se mu zjeví Vergiliův stín a nabízí mu jako jediné východisko sestup do pekel a cestu očistcem k ráji. -

Dante's Inferno
Dante’s Inferno: Critical Reception and Influence David Lummus Dante and the Divine Comedy have had a profound influence on the production of literature and the practice of literary criticism across the Western world since the moment the Comedy was first read. Al- though critics and commentators normally address the work as a whole, the first canticle, Inferno, is the part that has met with the most fervent critical response. The modern epoch has found in it both a mirror with which it might examine the many vices and perversions that define it and an obscure tapestry of almost fundamentalist pun- ishments that are entirely alien to it. From Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Osip Mandelstam in the early twentieth century to Seamus Heaney, W. S. Merwin, and Robert Pinsky at century’s end, modern poets of every bent have been drawn to the Inferno and to the other two canti- cles of the Comedy as an example of poetry’s world-creating power and of a single poet’s transcendence of his own spiritual, existential, and political exile.1 To them Dante was and is an example of how a poet can engage with the world and reform it, not just represent it, through the power of the poetic imagination. In order to understand how Dante and his poem have been received by critics and poets in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, we must glance—however curso- rily—at the seven-hundred-year critical tradition that has formed the hallowed academic institution of Dante studies. In this way, we can come to see the networks of understanding that bind Dante criticism across its history. -

Cari Dantisti: I Very Much Enjoyed Our First Session Together on 9/30 And
Cari Dantisti: I very much enjoyed our first session together on 9/30 and am grateful to those of you who’ve written with your own reactions. There was nothing tentative about our beginning; we are already well on our way. That said, I know from Sharon Small that there were raised hands that were not acknowledged. Also, because text largely occupied the screen, you were not able to see one another. And we were only looking at snippets of text rather than the entire canto under discussion. So, I’d like us to try something different on 10/7. Please have your Durling-Martinez text available so that we can work from it: can read from the text, paraphrase it, comment on it, draw your attention to this or that line. All of this by way of setting you up for Q&A and discussion. A great additional resource is Columbia University’s dedicated Dante website (https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/dante/divine-comedy/). where you can find for each canto the text (along with Longfellow and Mandelbaum translations), a written commentary by Teodolinda Barolini, a taped hour-long lecture by Barolini (select “video”), and a reading of the poem in Italian by a native speaker (“audio”). This site is a treasure trove. Another treasure is Lino Pertile’s “Introduction to the INFERNO” in the Cambridge Companion to Dante, 2nd ed. I’ve just gotten a pdf of the chapter and attach it to this email. It’s comprehensive and beautifully written. All of these are extras, which I draw your attention to while we are proceeding at a leisurely pace compared to our velocity in the succeeding weeks, Although you may not have time or inclination to pursue them now, I want you to know that they are there if and when you are interested in going further.
