Abstract

The introduction provides a broad overview of the occasion for this collection of essays that stem from a National Endowment for the Humanities institute in Florence, Italy, in 2014. In addition to giving a summary of the six essays that follow, it offers a rationale for reading the Comedy retrospectively and prospectively as well as vertically, in other words, reading forward and backward in a recursive process.
