CHOICE Magazine reviews Winthrop Wetherbee's The Ancient Flame
Thursday, October 16, 2008
- CHOICE Magazine praised Winthrop Wetherbee’s book The Ancient Flame: Dante and the Poets, calling it “. . . [l]earned, readable, genuinely and profoundly humane . . . .”
“A well-known scholar of classical and medieval Latin poetry, Wetherbee brings his enormous expertise in that field to bear on Dante’s Commedia, with consistently original and thought-provoking results. . . . Learned, readable, genuinely and profoundly humane, these readings succeed admirably in attaining their author’s stated goal of showing ‘the extent to which [Dante’s] gradual discovery of his own mission as a vernacular poet depended on a close and attentive reading of his Latin models.’” —Choice, October 2008
The Ancient Flame: Dante and the Poets is the tenth volume in The William and Katherine Devers Series in Dante Studies, the award-winning and critically acclaimed series edited by Theodore J. Cachey and Christian Moevs. Read more about the Series
