The underlying thesis considers prayer a metaphorical pilgrimage toward a sacred location and connects it with the pilgrim's ascent to the vision of the Trinity. Prayer is movement in Purgatorio and also in Paradiso, while eternal stasis is the penalty of blasphemous souls in Inferno. In the fictional rendition of the poem, the pilgrim's itinerary becomes a specular reflection of Dante's own exilic experience. Prayer's human-divine interaction affords the poet the necessary escape from the overwhelming sense of failure in politics and love. Whether it is petitional, liturgical, thankful, praiseful, or contemplative, prayer expresses the supplicant's wish to transform reality and attain a superior spiritual status. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-255) and index. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321. $t Divina commedia $x Criticism, Textual. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321 $x Comedies. 650 0 $a Prayer in literature. 650 0 $a Prayer in art. 650 0 $a Italian poetry $y To 1400 $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Prayer in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074722 776 08 $i Online version: $a Vettori, Alessandro, $t Dante's prayerful pilgrimage $w (DLC) 2019981467 $d Boston : 2019. $z 9789004405257 830 0 $a Medieval and Renaissance authors and texts ; $v v. 22. $x 0925-7683 $w (NL-LeOCL)079410669 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CBD90AC4586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
