Poetics of Redemption - Andreas Kablitz - Bog

As the title suggests, the essays on Dante collected in this volume interpret his Commedia as the attempt of a renewal of the Christian work of salvation by the means of literature. In the view of his author, the sacro poema responds to a historical moment of extreme danger, in which the very redemption of mankind is at stake. Therefore, Dante presents his journey into the other world as an endeavor to escape these risks.
