false 31698 5 Erich Auerbach&#8217;s <i>Dante: Poet of the Secular World</i> is an inspiring introduction to one of world&#8217;s greatest poets as well as a brilliantly argued and still provocative essay in the history of ideas. Here Auerbach, thought by many to be the greatest of twentieth-century scholar-critics, makes the seemingly paradoxical claim that it is in the poetry of Dante, supreme among religious poets, and above all in the stanzas of his <i>Divine Comedy</i>, that the secular world of the modern novel &#64257;rst took imaginative form. Auerbach&#8217;s study of Dante, a precursor and necessary complement to <i>Mimesis</i>, his magisterial overview of realism in Western literature, illuminates both the overall structure and the individual detail of Dante&#8217;s work, showing it to be an extraordinary synthesis of the sensuous and the conceptual, the particular and the universal, that rede&#64257;ned notions of human character and fate and opened the way into modernity.<br><br>CONTENTS<br>I.
