""A thorough overview of the very particular nature of Dante's treatise.
It discusses the work as the distinctive product of the poet's exile, a universal statement on language that coincides with and complements Dante's conception of Empire.
This text contains much valuable commentary."" -- Christopher Kleinhenz, University of Wisconsin.
