Dante on View opens an important new dimension in Dante studies. The volume's interdisciplinary approach to reception brings together literary criticism visual culture and performance studies. Dante's Commedia is re-created through the performances of readers and artists in a wide range of media. The essays analyse creative uses of the poet from medieval manuscript illumination to nineteenth and twentieth-century stage productions from film to ballet and hyperinstruments.
