KAY, T., Dante's Lyric Redemption. Eros, Salvation, Vernacular Tradition. Oxford University Press, 2016. 288p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Modern Languages and Literature Monographs. Kay's cogent and persuasive argument is that having opted to renounce the erotic in his Convivio, Dante comes back in the Comedy to the position he first sketched out in his Vita nuova and recasts it in a much more powerful form. Love of Beatrice does indeed lead to salvation, and it does so without cancelling her individuality, including her bodily reality, which she, like the rest of the souls in Paradise, is looking forward to recovering in enhanced form at the Last Judgement.
