The Stone of Dante and Later Florentine Celebrations of the Poet

The Stone of Dante and Later Florentine Celebrations of the Poet

Graham Smith2000
The first part of this book examines a literary tradition inspired by the legend that Dante had a favourite spot in Florence where he like to sit on summers' evenings - a spot marked by the so-called Stone of Dante; the second part discusses later Florentine monuments to the poet and considers how those came to displace the Stone of Dante.English Text.
