American Dante Bibliography for 2004

[Originally published in Dante Studies, vol.123 (2005)]

STEVEN BOTTERILL

 

This bibliography is intended to include all publications on Dante (books, articles, translations, reviews) appearing in North America in 2004, as well as reviews from foreign sources of books published in the United States and Canada. The listing of reviews is necessarily selective, especially in the case of studies bearing only peripherally upon Dante. Items not recorded in the bibliographies for previous years are entered as addenda to the current list; items from 2004 not identified in time for inclusion in the list will be added in future issues of the journal. I extend my thanks to research assistants Ryan Maddox, Robin De Leonardis, and Ryan Kerns, for their invaluable help.
