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.
