Description

In Dante and the Sense of Transgression, William Franke explores how Dante's medieval masterpiece illuminates contemporary literary theory through combined philosophical, theological, and critical analysis. This Bloomsbury Academic volume traces transgression as Dante's essential poetic gesture, moving beyond symbolic archetypes like Adam and Ulysses to reveal deeper layers of meaning within his work. Franke argues that Dante's overt suppression of transgression masks a fundamental preoccupation with boundary-crossing that shapes his entire poetic vision. The study bridges medieval literature with modern theoretical concerns, demonstrating how Dante's poetry becomes a vital lens for rethinking pressing issues in contemporary literary and philosophical discourse. Part of the New Directions in Religion and Literature series, this scholarly work addresses how the sign itself transgresses meaning in Dante's vision, offering fresh interpretations of his theological and poetic achievements.
