American Dante Bibliography for 2005
[Originally published in Dante Studies, vol.124
(2006)]
Richard Lansing
This
bibliography is intended to include all publications on Dante (books, articles,
translations, reviews) appearing in North America in 2005, 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 2005
not identified in time for inclusion here will be added in future issues of the
journal. I extend my thanks to Jean Boli for her invaluable assistance.
