About
In this first book-length study on recurrent linguistic patterns or "formulas" scattered across the textual space of Dante's Commedia, Lloyd Howard links the episodes in which they are found, guiding the reader to conclusions about what are often key points in the poem's meaning. He shows that such conclusions can be drawn only after a re-examination of the context that surrounds these linguistic signposts.
