This book provides fresh, scholarly, but accessible analyses of key areas of Dante's thought and poetry, including his ethics, politics, eschatology, conception of Purgatory, and moral autobiography. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Dante.

Dante and Epicurus seem poles apart. Dante, a committed Christian, depicted in the Commedia a vision of the afterlife and God's divine justice. Epicurus, a pagan philosopher, taught that the soul is mortal and that all religion is vain superstition. And yet Epicurus is, for Dante, not only the quintessential heretic but an ethical ally. The key to this apparent paradox lies in the heterodox dualism - between man's two goals of secular felicity and spiritual beatitude - at the heart of Dante's ethical, political and theological thought. Corbett's full-length treatment of Dante's reception and polemical representation of Epicurus addresses a major gap in the scholarship. Furthermore the study's focus on fault hues in Dante's vision of the afterlife - where the theological tensions implicit in his dualism surface - opens a new way to read the Commedia as a whole in dualistic terms.
