It is precise and astute in its analysis and highly attentive to the workings of language and the nuances of lexis...this vibrant and sophisticated study represents not only a fresh and significant contribution to the field of Dante studies but also a work of great interest to scholars of literature and narrative theory more broadly. * Tristan Kay, University of Bristol, Italian Studies * Crisafi's Dante's Masterplot and Alternative Narratives in the Commedia will be essential for scholars working on the poet's narrative modes, and useful to anyone interested in reading against the poem's teleology. * Alejandro Cuadrado, Bibliotheca Dantesca * Crisafi calls into question the teleological reading of the Commedia by pointing out alternative paths of interpretation. These alternative ways exist alongside the authoritative voice of the masterplot and end up cracking it and enriching the understanding of Dante's pluralism today. * Bárbara Ribeiro, Annali D'italianistica * Crisafi calls into question the teleological reading of the Commedia by pointing out alternative paths of interpretation.
