Description

Explore a fresh perspective on a literary giant with Dante and the Sense of Transgression: 'The Trespass of the Sign'. Part of the New Directions in Religion and Literature series, this work by William Franke merges literary-critical analysis with deep philosophical and theological reflection. This book offers a way to look at Dante's poetic vision through a new lens. It uses his medieval masterpiece to help rethink modern issues in contemporary theory. By examining archetypes such as Adam and Ulysses, Franke looks at themes of transgression that exist beneath the surface of Dante's work. The text moves beyond mere suppression to show how transgression acts as an essential gesture in the poet's vision, reaching toward the culmination of the Paradiso. Whether you are a scholar of medieval literature or interested in the intersection of religion and theory, this volume provides a unique way to engage with one of history's most important poets. It serves as a guide for understanding how ancient texts can speak to current academic debates.
