More about the book

Focusing on vernacular depictions of the afterlife in pre-Divine Comedy Italy, this analysis examines works by poets like Uguccione da Lodi and Giacomino da Verona. Manuele Gragnolati offers a fresh interpretation of Dante's writings by exploring high medieval eschatology and personal identity. He delves into how medieval spirituality's concepts of body and pain shape eschatological views, highlighting the tension between the physical experiences of the soul and the ultimate need for bodily resurrection.
