‘Commedie’ di Dante: riscritture parodiche nella letteratura illustrata contemporanea

Abstract

The Comedy of Dante Alighieri, more than any other work in contemporary literature, offered examples of parodical rewriting that - using Genette'swords - witness the birth of a new creation . In particular, the three parts of Dante's Divine Comedy have been often rewritten as parodies of graphic novels and children's literature - with the iconography of the illustrated plates, of drawings, cartoons and comics.
