THE OXFORD ITALIAN ASSOCIATION, TRINITY TERM PROGRAMME 2019
21/5/19, 6.00 pm, St Hugh's College: The Bickley Lecture, Professor Stephen Milner, Dante Monumentale: the politics of publishing the Divine Comedy in 1911.
Abstract: This paper will examine the story of the publication of the 1911 copy of Dante’s Divina comedia by Leo S. Olshcki and Giuseppe Landi Passerini to commemorate the anniversary of Italian unification. Known as the Dante monumentale for its size and magnificence, the history of the production and publication process in the years immediately prior to WW1 saw the project take on a political significance which involved not only the publisher and editor but also D’Annunzio and the Italian navy.
