Example text
In this passage, Bel is compared and contrasted to what is fashioned as his alter ego. This overt metanarrative technique uses intertextuality to proclaim the fictionality of the protagonist. Belacqua’s artificiality is duplicated by a further intertextual dimension. 9 The phrase ‘sedendo et quiescendo’ appears later in Beckett’s novel and does not belong to the Comedy, but can be found, together with the information that Belacqua was a lute-maker, in two early commentaries, the Comentum of Benvenuto de Rambaldis de Imola (c.
78–79. See also Roberto Mercuri, ‘Percorsi letterari e tipologie culturali nell’ese gesi dantesca di Benvenuto da Imola’, in Pantaleo Palmieri and Carlo Paolazzi (eds), Benvenuto da Imola lettore degli antichi e dei moderni (Ravenna: Longo, 1991), pp. 55–78, p. 61. The letter to frate Ilario and Boccaccio’s narrative about Dante’s mother’s dream are also reported in J. A. Symonds, An Introduction to the Study of Dante (London: Adam and Charles Black, 1893), pp. 70–72 and p. 36, respectively. This crit ical volume is mentioned as a source in one of Beckett’s early ‘Dante notebooks’, TCD MS 10962.
