Teaching Dante as a Visionary Prophet

Pedagogy Jan 2013

Anne L. Clark

Abstract

Introducing Dante in a course on medieval visuality positioned the Commedia in relation to medieval women’s visionary and mystical literature. This article suggests how a comparison of the Commedia with this literature, particularly the works of Hildegard of Bingen, can illuminate the visionary mode of writing that Dante employed.
