Poetry of Dante's Paradiso
«“If one is looking for an understanding of Dante’s cosmos informed in equal parts by Walter Benjamin, George Herbert, and Ptolemy, it is to be found in Tambling’s book. … his book undeniably shows that ideas explored in Paradiso continue to matter beyond Dante’s own immediate context.” (Aistė Kiltinavičiūtė, Modern Language Review, Vol. 117 (3), July, 2022)»
This book argues that Paradiso - Dante's vision of Heaven - is not simply affirmative. It posits that Paradiso compensates for disappointment rather than fulfils hopes, and where it moves into joy and vision, this also rationalises the experience of exile and the failure of all Dante's political hopes.
