«Andanzas poéticas. Del camino y sus sentidos en la poesía castellana medieval»

The reading of the first three verses of the "Divine Comedy" of Dante Alighieri allows the possible interpretation in three manners of the concept of path and journey in the Medieval Spanish poetry. The poetic motif of the path also draws a guideline that allows to narrate the origin and formation of the Spanish poetry through its principal writers: Gonzalo de Berceo, Juan Ruiz, Marqués de Santillana, Juan de Mena and Jorge Manrique. In this direction my approach to the medieval Spanish poetry follows the next subdivision:«Peregrinatio vitae. Il cammino della vita», starting from the phenomenon of the Christian pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (which in turn determines the formation of the Spanish medieval poetry) it is possible to explain the metaphor of life; «The rightful path. La diritta via», where it is analyzed the subject of death with its moral component; and «La selva oscura. La selva selvaggia», that focuses on the study of Spanish poetry of the Fifteenth Century inspired by Dante.
