The Epistolary Renaissance: A Critical Approach to Contemporary Letter Narrat…
Since the late twentieth century, letters in literature have seen a remarkable renaissance.

However, the tiny Netherlands witnessed a remarkable boom of Dante translations around the year 2000: within a short period seven cantiche were translated by Dutchmen and seven by Americans.
