Speculum Author InformationGiulia Gaimari was a Wolfson Postgraduate Scholar at UCL, where she recently obtained her PhD. Her research interests focus on Dante’s knowledge and employment of classical philosophy; on medieval encyclopaedic and didactic culture, on civic rhetoric and ideals; and on the representation of souls in medieval otherworldly visions and travels. She has published articles on themes ranging from the representation of the blessed souls in the Commedia, to aspects of Dante’s ethical and political thinking. Catherine Keen is Associate Professor in the Italian Department at UCL. She is currently Senior co-editor of the journal, Italian Studies. Her research interests cover Dante’s Commedia and his minor works, especially relating to his thought on politics and exile, themes addressed in her monograph, Dante and the City (2003). She has also published on the early Italian lyric tradition, with a special interest in the poetry of Cino da Pistoia, and on translation and reception of classical literature in Duecento and Trecento Italy, particularly the works of Cicero and of Ovid.
