  LIST OF WORKS CITED

  * * *

  What follows is precisely that, not an inclusive bibliography of studies relevant to Dante or even to his Inferno, which alone would be voluminous. Abbreviated references in the texts of the notes are keyed to this alphabetical listing. For those interested in the general condition of Dantean bibliography, however, a few remarks may be helpful.

  Since an extended bibliography for the study of Dante includes tens of thousands of items, those who deal with the subjects that branch out from the works of this writer are condemned to immoderate labor and a sense that they are always missing something important. While even half a century ago it was possible to develop, in a single treatment, a fairly thorough compendium of the most significant items (e.g., S. A. Chimenz, Dante, in Letteratura italiana. I maggiori [Milan: Marzorati, 1954], pp. 85–109), the situation today would require far more space. Fortunately, the extraordinary scholarly tool represented by the Enciclopedia dantesca, dir. U. Bosco, 6 vols. (Rome, Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana, 1970–78—henceforth ED) has given Dante studies its single most important bibliographical resource, leaving only the last quarter century—which happens to be the most active period in the history of Dante studies—uncovered. However, for the years 1965–90 Enzo Esposito has edited a helpful guide, Dalla bibliografia alla storiografia: la bibliografia dantesca nel mondo dal 1965–1990 (Ravenna: Longo, 1995). A closer analysis of a shorter period is available in “Bibliografia Dantesca 1972–1977,” ed. Leonella Coglievina, Studi Danteschi 60 (1988): 35–314 (presenting 3121 items for this five-year period). The bibliography in ED, vol. 6, pp. 499–618 (a length that gives some sense of the amount of basic information available), contains ca. 5000 items and is of considerable use, breaking its materials into convenient categories. (Its bibliography of bibliographies alone runs six double-column pages, pp. 542–47.) The ED also, of course, contains important bibliographical indications in many of its entries. A major new English source for bibliographical information has recently been published: The Dante Encyclopedia, ed. Richard Lansing (New York: Garland, 2000).

  In the past dozen years, Dante studies, perhaps more than any other post-classical area of literature, has moved into “the computer age.” There is a growing online bibliography available, developed from the bibliography of American Dante studies, overseen by Richard Lansing for the Dante Society of America, which includes a growing number of Italian items (http://www.princeton.edu/~dante). Some seventy-one commentaries to the Commedia are now available through the Dartmouth Dante Project (opened 1988), still best reached via Telnet (telnet library.dartmouth.edu; at the prompt type “connect dante”), but soon to be available on the Web as well. There is also the new Princeton Dante Project (http://www.princeton.edu/dante), a multimedia edition of the Commedia (open to public use since 1999) overseen by Robert Hollander, which also functions as an entry point to most of the many Dante sites on the Web, perhaps most notably that established and maintained by Otfried Lieberknecht in Berlin, which is a source of an enormous amount of information about Dante in electronic form, and, in the autumn of 2000, the site being developed by the Società Dantesca Italiana
(www.danteonline.it).
