• Resumen

  • This essay explores Dante’s influence on Rosselli’s poetry, especially on Variazioni Belliche. I have based my analysis on the annotated copies of two works: Dante’s Rime from Rosselli’s personal library (kept in Fondo Rosselli in Viterbo) and T. S. Eliot’s Dante (kept in Centro Manoscritti of University of Pavia). Rosselli’s Dantism is a modernist one: the great poet is read through the lens of T. S. Eliot’s interpretation which considers Dante a master of the allegorical method. Virginia Woolf ’s legacy is fundamental as well: the use of parody in Orlando influences Rosselli’s process of rewriting the lyrical tradition of dolce stil novo Poetry. Modernist literary devices such as allegory and parody are chosen to represent the alienation of modernity and embrace an idea of literature as political resistance against violence and social injustices.
