Its title evokes the moment when Virgil leads Dante through Limbo, the uppermost portion of Hell. There, they are joined by four classical poets, and Virgil describes one of them as \"Horace the satirist\" (\"Orazio satiro,\" 4:89). By applying the expression to Dante himself, this volume seeks to explore the satirical elements in his works. Although Dante is not typically described as a satirist, anyone familiar with his works will recognize the strong satirical element in his many writings. Ultimately, this study shows that Dante engages in satire in order to attain the primary literary tool at his disposal for his prophetic objectives: the castigation of vice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFabian Alfie\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of Italian at the University of Arizona. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicolino Applauso \u003c\/b\u003eis visiting assistant professor of Italian at Loyola University Maryland.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 21, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50406282395885,"sku":"9781793621733","price":84.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/dante-satiro-satire-in-dante-alighieris-comedy-and-other-works-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
