Notes: "The present collection of essays seeks to extend yet further the scope of research and debate in an interdisciplinary and multicultural way, and essays on many aspects of Dante's international reception from c. 1800 to c. 1914 are included. It draws upon papers given at the interdisciplinary conference on 'Dante in the Nineteenth Century' which took place at the University of York on 15-16 July 2008"--Introd.
