"A very forceful and original reading of Dante and Joyce, of the notion of an intertext linking them, and of the problematic of literary rebirth through literary immersion and resurrection. What is remarkable is Fraser's almost equal expertise in both critical fields." --Jean Michel Rabate, University of Pennsylvania
An intertextual study of Dante and Joyce, this book shows their work to be structured and restructured by an initiatory artistic experience--in Dante's case the intertext of Virgil's Aeneid, in Joyce's that of Dante's Commedia. Jennifer Fraser presents her analysis in opposing panels of text to provide a graphic view of the intertextual impact of these writers on one another's work. Fraser offers insightful readings of Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and Dante's Commedia regarding the relationship between the two writers; the theoretical question of literary initiation, here configured as demarcating a special category of texts, contributing new perspectives for Italian studies and more particularly, Dante studies; Anglo-Irish scholarship (specifically, Joyce studies); and comparative studies. Especially intriguing to Joyce scholars will be the application to Ulysses of hermeneutic principles derived from the Dantean field. Further, the book examines the intertextual relationship of the two writers from a novel perspective: rather than detail their bond as literary father and son, Fraser analyzes them according to the striking imagery in each author's works that presents the intertextual relationship as an initiatory bond between mother and son. The change that readers seek in order to transform themselves, through that act of reading, into authors is the underlying focus of the book. Fraser studies the changes Joyce undergoes during his experience of reading and writing the Commedia; the changes to Dante's poem that result from a Joycean reconfiguration of the poet's literary portrait; the changes we seek and undergo as readers when we are provoked into writing by the initiatory fiction of Dante and Joyce. She posits writing as a symbolic death, return to the womb, and rebirth that transforms the silent reader into an articulate author.

Este libro nos trae a un Vygotski desconocido en muchas de sus facetas y muy poco conocido en el último momento de su obra, entre 1930 y 1934, quizás el período más fecundo de su pensamiento. Zavershneva en uno de sus capítulos expresa con especial claridad una novedad indiscutible de este libro: "Sin duda el valor científico de los documentos del archivo consiste no solo en que ahí están expuestos las ideas y planes de L. S. Vygotski no realizados, sino que ayudan a trazar el proceso de su pensamiento. Lo más interesante no solo son las cadenas de su razonamiento, sino los saltos del pensamiento, los destellos repentinos de su agudeza, las rupturas en la argumentación". (Cap. 5, p. 110). ------------------------------------------------------ «Este libro es imperdible; ofrece una nueva interpretación de las tesis y de los problemas que se planteó Vygotski entre 1932 y 1934, muestra un pensamiento nada lineal sino atravesado por revisiones y críticas, y brinda una muy cuidadosa reconstrucción histórica de la recepción de las ideas vygotskianas en los países iberoamericanos.» José Antonio Castorina –Universidad de Buenos Aires– «Este volumen presenta el legado de Vygotski sin caer en un seguidismo hagiográfico. Se echaba de menos una historia crítica de las condiciones de producción, de difusión y de recepción de su producción.» Alberto Rosa –Universidad Autónoma de Madrid– «El reciente libro de Yasnitsky, van der Veer, Aguilar y García es algo realmente a celebrar. Refuerza de manera provocativa, polémica y aguda la necesidad, no siempre advertida, de refinar nuestras lecturas de la obra vygotskiana.» Ricardo Baquero –Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes– «Conocer al Vygotski que duda y se revisiona a sí mismo y cuestionar las lecturas más habituales que se han hecho y se hacen aún de su obra es algo que ningún vygotskiano debería perderse. Aunque polisémico y abierto a la polémica, el Vygotski que aquí aparece è vero è ben trovato. Para mí, imprescindible.» Pablo del Río –Fundación Infancia & Aprendizaje–
