Publisher's Synopsis
In 1911 Olschki printed a historical edition of the Divine Comedy with a foreword by d'Annunzio, that followed months of intense exchanges between the poet and the publisher and Passerini, who curated this publication. The study reconstructs the phases of this tormented collaboration based on the correspondence and the documents found in the archives of the Publishing House and the Vittoriale. It aims to set the record straight and to do away with the incongruities and inaccurate anecdotes found in d'Annunzio's biographies.
