Description
Blending historical imagination with ideological inquiry, this volume offers a “reading” and rewriting of Dante’s Divine Comedy from a newly positioned perspective. Across a trilogy that moves with restless invention, the narrative stages a carnival-like world of visions and rehearsals, where meaning is never fixed but continually reworked through language, memory, and cultural encounter. Wilson Harris’s distinctive style—lyrical, philosophically charged, and deeply attentive to the afterlives of empire and myth—invites readers to consider how history shapes belief, how art can resist closure, and how spiritual journeys can be reimagined as acts of interpretation. With its sweeping scope and experimental momentum, the book transforms canonical form into a living, contested space for thought.
