  Re-examining key passages in Dante's oeuvre in the light of the crucial issue of moral choice, this book provides a thematic framework for interpreting the Divine Comedy. It shows how Dante articulated the relationship between the human and the divine as an erotic choice between two attractive women - Beatrice and the 'other woman'.
