Description:

Danteworlds is "an invaluable resource for specialists and novices alike," writes E. S. Hierl (Harvard University) in Choice Reviews Online, "the sort of multimedia experience that those in the digital humanities strive for" (August, 2010). The subject of an interview in Life & Letters, Danteworlds was selected in 2008 by EDSITEment! (National Endowment for the Humanities) as "one of the best online resources for education in the humanities." It was featured in the literary blogs of the New Yorker (Jan. 8, 2009) and the Los Angeles Times (Jan. 14, 2009).Dante's Bones: How a Poet Invented Italy, published by Harvard University Press, is a richly detailed graveyard history of the Florentine poet whose dead body shaped Italy from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the Risorgimento, World War I, and Mussolini's fascist dictatorship. The Danteworlds Web site contains an abridged version of the original commentary contained in The Complete Danteworlds: A Reader's Guide to the Divine Comedy (2009) and Danteworlds: A Reader's Guide to the Inferno (2007), both published by the University of Chicago Press. The Complete Danteworlds also features historical overviews of the three realms, plot summaries for each region (circles of Hell, terraces of Purgatory, spheres of Paradise), a chronology of major events in Dante's life, illustrations of the three realms, a map of Italy in the 13th Century, additional study questions, and an extensive bibliography (classical and medieval sources as well as modern studies and translations).
