Dante and the Practice of Humility: A Theological Commentary on the Divine Comedy Teubner Rachel K
In this book, Rachel Teubner offers an exploration of humility in Dante's Divine Comedy, arguing that the poem is an ascetical exercise concerned with training its author gradually in the practice of humility, rather than being a reflection of authorial hubris. Teubner demonstrates how the poetry of the Comedy is theologically significant, focusing especially on the poem's definition of humility as ethically and artistically meaningful. A contribution to recent scholarship that considers the poem to be a work of self-examination, her volume investigates its scriptural, literary, and liturgical sources, also offering fresh feminist perspectives on its theological challenges.
Undergraduate and novice readers will benefit from this companion, just as Interrogating the text canto by canto, she also reveals how contemporary tools of literary analysis can offer new insights into its meaning.
