The City of Poetry:
Imagining the Civic Role of the Poet
in Fourteenth-Century Italy
David G. Lummus

PUBLISHING FALL 2020

What did it mean to be a poet in fourteenth-century Italy? What counted as poetry?
In an effort to answer these questions, this book examines the careers of four medieval
Italian poets (Albertino Mussato, Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch, and Giovanni
Boccaccio) who wrote in both Latin and the Italian vernacular. The City of Poetry provides
a new historicized approach to understanding poetic culture in fourteenth-century Italy
which reshapes long-standing Romantic views of poetry as a timeless and sublimely
inspired form of discourse.

‘David G. Lummus superlative The City of Poetry is a rigorous and erudite study of the
poet’s civic role as an authority in the political arena of the city. ...The manuscript establishes
a coherent, nuanced, and tightly framed argument, developing a lucid and well-focused
narrative that reads like a story, and it contributes significantly to present-day critical debates
on the role of the poet as an authority in society.’ Modern Language Association prize
selection committee

‘A major scholarly achievement, Lummus’ elegant book provides for the first time lucid and
detailed accounts in English of the civic concerns of the four poets considered, and of their
major Latin works, and of the dialogues, differentiations, and rewritings that we find in and
between them.’ Simon Gilson, University of Oxford

This volume presents a focused overview of Dante's
masterpiece, the Commedia, offering readers of today wide-
ranging insights into the poem and its core features. With its
accessible approach, its unstinting focus on the poem and its
attention to matters that have not always received adequate
critical assessment, this volume will be of value to all students
and scholars of Dante's great poem.

England in the Early
Medieval World
Elements in England in the Early Medieval World takes an innovative,
interdisciplinary view of the culture, history, literature, archaeology and legacy
of England between the fifth and eleventh centuries. Individual contributions
question and situate key themes, and thereby bring new perspectives to the
heritage of Anglo-Saxon England. They draw on texts in Latin and Old English
as well as material culture to paint a vivid picture of the period. Relevant not
only to students and scholars working in medieval studies, these volumes
explore the rich intellectual, methodological and comparative value that the
dynamic researchers interested in the Anglo-Saxon World have to offer in a
modern, global context. The series is driven by a commitment to inclusive and
critical scholarship, and to the view that Anglo-Saxon studies have a part to
play in many fields of academic research, as well as constituting a vibrant and
self-contained area of research in its own right.
Series Editors:
Megan Cavell University of Birmingham, Rory Naismith King’s College London,
Winfried Rudolf University of Göttingen, and Emily Thornbury Yale University.
