Reviews

In a short and engaging book, Luca Fiorentini rewrites the complex debate about Dante's Commedia promoted by its very first readers. - Giuliano Milani, Internazionale Fiorentini's essay overcomes what the author himself promises in the introduction of the book, providing the readers with a survey in which the didactic aims are combined with the will of elaborating reflections addressed also to scholars in Italian Studies. - Sara Ferrilli, Linguistica e Letteratura
