Abstract

The panel proposes to examine the networks and entanglements Dante has with his contemporaries, especially in 13th- and 14th-century Tuscany. The aim of the panel is to show how Dante shapes his biographic and poetic identity through the connections he creates with poets and personalities he interacts with – e.g. through the tenzoni, intertextual references, etc.
