In this 1978 book, Dr Kirkpatrick argues that to appreciate Paradiso, we need to recognise that poetry can not only dramatise thought, but also offer a thorough analysis of religious and philosophical belief. He demonstrates how Dante's adoption of analytical language influences the organisation of his poem and his handling of word and image.
