A New research line in the SAQ
The annual celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday has, in Europe maybe, only one close equivalent. In Italy, the DanteDì (March 25th) is the well-established anniversary of Dante Alighieri, father of the nation’s language. This year also marks the 760th anniversary of Dante’s birth (1265–1321). Recent research now narrows the centuries-long distance between the Renaissance of Shakespeare and the Middle Ages of Dante, shedding new light on the long-debated authorship of Shakespeare’s plays.
