It focuses on the way such writers as Thomas Gray, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Ezra Pound, W. P. Ker, I. A. Richards, T. S. Eliot, Samuel Beckett and James Joyce have engaged with the issues addressed in Dante's tract, in order to open up new avenues of research for scholars interested in the relations between English and Italian literature.
