Description - From Florence to the Heavenly City by Claire E. Honess

Dante?s political thought has long constituted a major area of interest for Dante studies, yet the poet?s political views have traditionally been considered as a self-contained area for study, and viewed in isolation from the poet?s other concerns. Consequently, the symbolic and poetic values which Dante attaches to political structures have been largely ignored or marginalised by Dante criticism. This omission is addressed here by Claire Honess, whose study of Dante?s ?poetry of citizenship? focuses on more fundamental issues, such as the relationship between the individual and the community and the question of what it means to be a citizen.
