Privileging the ethical, Corbett increases our appreciation of Dante's eschatological innovations and literary genius. Drawing upon a wider range of moral contexts than in previous studies, this book presents an overarching account of the complex ordering and political programme of Dante's afterlife. Balancing close readings with a lucid overview of Dante's Commedia as an ethical and political manifesto, Corbett cogently approaches the poem through its moral structure. The book provides detailed interpretations of three particularly significant sins - pride, sloth, and avarice - and the three terraces of Purgatory devoted to them. While scholars register Dante's explicit confession of pride, the volume uncovers Dante's implicit confession of sloth and prodigality (the opposing subvice of avarice) through Statius, his moral cypher. 600 00 Dante Alighieri, |d1265-1321. |tPurgatorio. |=^A495794 600 00 Dante Alighieri, |d1265-1321 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A15616 600 00 Dante Alighieri, |d1265-1321 |xEthics. |=^A15616 600 00 Dante Alighieri, |d1265-1321 |xReligion. |=^A15616 650 0 Christian ethics in literature. |=^A158782 650 0 Deadly sins in literature. |=^A407357 600 07 Dante Alighieri, |d1265-1321. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00029097 |?UNAUTHORIZED 630 07 Purgatorio (Dante Alighieri) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01356635 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 7 Christian ethics in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00859134 650 7 Deadly sins in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00888434 650 7 Ethics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 Religion. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01093763 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |iOnline version:Corbett, George. |tDante's Christian ethics. |dCambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020 |z9781108776875 |w(DLC) 2019038191 830 0 Cambridge studies in medieval literature |v110. |=^A223309 949 |i30372017365971 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s99.99 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5325621
