Reviews

Heather Webb confronts the issue from a modern theological perspective ... the case she makes has more force than many interpretations that hold religion at a historical distance. Peter Hainsworth, Times Literary Supplement Offering insightful and fresh readings of two pairs of characters - Franscesca and Paolo in Inferno and Statius and Virgil in Purgatorio - Dantes Persons is provocative, erudite, and best suited to advanced scholars. D. Pesta, CHOICE
