Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dante and the Mystics: A Study of the Mystical Aspect of the Divina Commedia and Its Relations With Some of Its Medieval Sources
The following studies include portions of courses of public lectures delivered during the last three academical sessions at University College, London. They have been completely rewritten, and are now presented in a somewhat different form. AS the title of the book indicates, its main purpose is to lay stress upon the mystical aspect Of the Divine Commedia, to trace the in?uence upon Dante Of the earlier mystics from St. Augustine onwards, and to illustrate the mystical tendency of the sacred poem by its analogies with the writings of other.
