'Corbett's book is a great scholarly contribution. It adds much to our knowledge of the markedly ethical dimension underpinning Dante's Commedia. Written in a very economical and clear style, Dante's Christian Ethics provides a truly original and solid study of the ethical bearings of the Commedia.' Tomasso De Robertis, Biblioteca Dantesca 5.30 (2022), 379-381, 'Corbett's book is well written, argued with careful and close textual attention, and finally it is persuasive. Indeed, the textual analysis does not merely engage with modern scholarship but gives equal attention to the commentary tradition as it situates Corbett's close and original readings of Dante's text. Corbett breaks new ground [making] a persuasive argument for the role of Peraldus's 'widely diffused and extremely influential treatise De vitiis' that informs the moral theology of Dante's Purgatorio. The close readings ... were a startling revelation, enough to install Peraldus over Aquinas, as Corbett shows.' Brenda Deen Schildgen, Speculum 97.3 (July 2022), 813-815, 'It is perhaps a mark of how far removed from original contexts literary critics have wandered that this book needed to be written. But one should be grateful that Corbett (Univ. of St Andrews, Scotland) did write it. The refreshing aim of this remembering of Dante's Commedia is to remind the reader that the spiritual, moral, and ethical concerns of medieval literature were real and related directly to a robust, coherent Christian tradition available to readers in the day and to today's readers.' D. Pesta, Choice, 'Writing with considerable verve and arguing his points with clarity and emphasis, Corbett shows us Dante as a medieval thinker and writer for whom creative literature fell under the heading of ethics, and as a believer intent on using his poetic eloquence and imagination to urge his audiences towards Christian salvation. [He] does so by offering a thorough reappraisal of Dante's theology, paying especially close attention to the role played by contemporary preaching and penitential sources in shaping Dante's practical sense of his poem's function. This fine monograph offers significant intellectual rewards [and] it is a signal of the achievements of this study that Corbett leaves the reader wanting more.'

Synopsis
This book provides fresh, scholarly, but accessible analyses of key areas of Dante's thought and poetry, including his ethics, politics, eschatology, conception of Purgatory, and moral autobiography. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Dante., This book is a major re-appraisal of the Commedia as originally envisaged by Dante: as a work of ethics. Privileging the ethical, Corbett increases our appreciation of Dante's eschatological innovations and literary genius. Drawing upon a wider range of moral contexts than in previous studies, this book presents an overarching account of the complex ordering and political programme of Dante's afterlife. Balancing close readings with a lucid overview of Dante's Commedia as an ethical and political manifesto, Corbett cogently approaches the poem through its moral structure. The book provides detailed interpretations of three particularly significant vices - pride, sloth, and avarice - and the three terraces of Purgatory devoted to them. While scholars register Dante's explicit confession of pride, the volume uncovers Dante's implicit confession of sloth and prodigality (the opposing subvice of avarice) through Statius, his moral cypher., This book is a major re-appraisal of the Commedia as originally envisaged by Dante: as a work of ethics.
