  • Ilaria Natali Università di Firenze
Keywords: Irish Modernism, Dante, Old Irish Tales, Hell

Abstract

Visions and representations of Hell in the works of J.M. Synge, James Joyce and W.B. Yeats often originate in a conflation of the Irish and Italian literary traditions, where references to Dante’s Divine Comedy are intermingled with elements deriving from old Irish stories of the Otherworld.
