Their stories are drawn to the rich implications of Dante’s allegory, as it inscribes itself into their personal and political landscapes, offering them an alternative narrative—a new Purgatorial language of change, despair, and hope—in which to frame the South African experience. 2022-06-01T12:18:59Z 2022-06-01T12:18:59Z 2021 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788855184588_502 2704-5919 9788855184588 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56317 eng Studi e saggi application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 26049.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-458-8_5 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-458-8.5 10.36253/978-88-5518-458-8.5 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855184588 228 69 Florence open access

The creative pieces in this volume reveal the complex relationship that young South African writers have with Dante and his Commedia. Notable for their personal response to the poet, they engage in a process of rewriting Dante, who appears variously as a mirror and as a remote presence against which to measure themselves. Their stories are drawn to the rich implications of Dante’s allegory, as it inscribes itself into their personal and political landscapes, offering them an alternative narrative—a new Purgatorial language of change, despair, and hope—in which to frame the South African experience.
