Articles |
Cf. DSt 110 (1992): Argues that Brunetto's canzone "S'eo sono distretto" and that of Bondie Dietaiuti ("Amore, quando mi membra") should be understood as political--not erotic--, as the expression of love for Florence after the defeat at Montaperti. Armour connects these sentiments toward the patria with those found in Inferno XV.
Cf. DSt 113 (1995): A survey of recent studies of Brunetto Latini's sin and the imagery of Inferno XV in the light of the author's interpretation that Dante's Brunetto is presented as a quasi-Manichaean pessimist and that his language provides an intensified contrast with that of Dante in Convivio IV, on the natural and theological origins of nobility. Brunetto's Stoic acceptance of his own exile and his function as Dante's teacher, perhaps of versification in the vernacular, are also reflected in the canto: in Dante's attitude to Fortune, his tribute to the man who taught him "come l'uom s'etterna," and the permanence of this influence on Dante's own "lingua" and fame as a poet.
