Accounting for Dante : urban readers and writers in late medieval Italy

Summary: In Accounting for Dante, Justin Steinberg reexamines Dante's relation to his contemporary public, an audience that included those poets who responded to Dante's early work as well as the readers who first copied, preserved, and circulated his poetry. Based on original research of manuscripts and documents, Steinberg's study reveals in particular the importance of professional, urban classes--namely, merchants and notaries--as cultivators of early Italian poetry.
