Love's Scribe
 

My book about Dante, Love’s Scribe: Reading Dante in the Book of Creation, has just been published by Angelico Press (Brooklyn). It’s a culmination of my Dante work over the past several years. I’m pretty excited about it.

You don’t have to know Dante well to get into this book, although some familiarity with the Divine Comedy would be helpful.

The Amazon page here has a book description.

Congrats, Andrew.
I will be sure to get a copy.

Congratulations Andrew! That's an impressive achievement.

Wow! Many congratulations, Andrew. That is impressive.

Great news, Andrew! Congrats.

Huge congrats, Andrew—what a wonderful book! I love the Blake cover; it just doesn’t get better than this. Thrilling reviews, but more thrilling indeed is the book itself. Definitely a must have. Also the title: perfect. News to brighten a day for sure :).

Thanks, folks. I always think of my Dante work as inextricably connected to the Sphere, since it's here that I first tried out my translations, and all of the poetry translations in the Vita nova and the Convivio were workshopped at various times over on the Translation forum.

Siham! I'm so glad you enjoy the Blake cover image. Blake did that watercolor as an illustration to Milton's L'Allegro, but it is equally apt for Dante and it is a break from the predictable Rossetti images that are so often used for Dante books.
