Prisoners of Hope: An Exposition of Dante's Purgatorio is a book written by John S. Carroll that offers a comprehensive analysis of Dante's second part of the Divine Comedy, Purgatorio. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides a detailed introduction to the poem, including its structure, themes, and historical context. The second part of the book is a line-by-line commentary that offers a close reading of each canto in Purgatorio, exploring the symbolism, allegory, and theological implications of Dante's work. Carroll's analysis is informed by his deep knowledge of medieval literature and theology, and he draws on a range of sources to illuminate Dante's poetry, including the Bible, Aristotle, and Augustine. Overall, Prisoners of Hope is an essential resource for anyone interested in Dante's Purgatorio, offering a rich and insightful interpretation of this complex and fascinating work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
