In the view of his author, the \u003cem\u003esacro poema\u003c\/em\u003e responds to a historical moment of extreme danger, in which nothing less than the redemption of mankind is at stake. The degradation of the medieval Roman Empire and the rise of an early capitalism in his birth town Florence, entailing a pernicious moral depravation for Dante, are to him nothing else but a variety of symptoms of the backfall of the world into its state prior to its salvation by the incarnation of Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDante presents his journey into the other world as an endeavor to escape these risks. Mobilizing the traditional procedures of literary discourse for this purpose, he aims at writing a text that overcomes the deficiencies of the traditional Book of Revelation that, on its own terms, no longer seems capable of fulfilling his traditional tasks. The immense revaluation of poetry implied in Dante's \u003cem\u003eCommedia\u003c\/em\u003e, thus, contemporarily involves the claim of a substantial weakness of the institutional religious discourse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndreas Kablitz\u003c\/strong\u003e, Cologne University \/ Petrarca-Institut, Cologne, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42643892764768,"sku":"9783111088907","price":41.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/WEFuZjVMNHh2Vml2L1RSeUxjVWU5dz09.webp?v=1773381058","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/poetics-of-redemption-dantes-divine-comedy-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
