"Dante's "Other Works" is a wonderful exposition on the complexity of Europe's greatest poet, the poet of Christendom but also a poet of the universal and syncretic. . . . Any lover of Dante would do well to pick up this volume." —VoegelinView"The essays are informative, text-centered, and devoid of the kind of tendentious critical theory that subordinates works of literature to contemporary ideology." —Choice"Dante's 'Other Works' is altogether excellent, and it fills a much-lamented gap in the bibliography on Dante in English." —Lino Pertile, co-editor of Dante in Context"This highly stimulating, erudite, yet also accessible collection provides an absorbing survey of the full range of Dante's 'other works' beyond the Commedia."—J. Catherine Keen, co-editor of Ethics, Politics and Justice in Dante
