\Contrapasso\: The Long Wait to Inferno 28
2012
Overview
Since Niccolò Tommaseo (1837), \"contrapasso\" is understood not only to describe Bertran's eternal fate, but to define the principle governing punishment of sinners in all Inferno. [...]for Baro- lini both Bertran and his counterpart Sordello are examples of \"the uses to which a poet can put his poetry in the service of the state\".7 If Sordello moves through the Valley of Princes in epic company, his anti-type Bertran, mutando mutandis, is also grand, measured on an infernal scale.\\n29 When 28 returns in the Commedia, designating the canto whose opening coincides with Dante's entry into Eden, it once again asserts 'perfection.'
