- 요약As established by ancient writers like Plato and Vergil, the literary subterranean landscape contains multilayered symbolic, religious, and natural historical motifs, prompting a multiplicity of converging perspectives and interpretations. Unseen, otherworldly, and liminal, the subterranean is a space of divination, birth, knowledge, salvation, eternal damnation, and more. Medieval and early modern Italian writers inherit, perpetuate, and transform these motifs as they confront and address societal and historical concerns of their period. Dante Alighieri's horror-filled Hell in the Commedia ("The Divine Comedy"; c. 1308-1321) reflects, amongst other concerns, his perceptions of the corruptness of clergy and the Catholic Church. Decades later, Giovanni Boccaccio's birth caves of pagan deities in De Genealogia Deorum Gentilium ("On the Genealogy of the Gods of the Gentiles"; c. 1360-1374) mirror the resurging cultural interest in antiquity.In this project, I draw upon elements of ecocriticism, natural history, and Christianity to conduct an exploratory examination of how established subterranean motifs and their converging perspectives appear in and are adapted in select texts from the sixteenth-century Italian literary corpus. I conduct close intertextual and intratextual readings on three writers and their works: Ludovico Ariosto and his Orlando furioso ("The Frenzy of Orlando"; 1532); Domenico Delfino and his Sommario di tutte le scientie ("Summary of All Knowledge"; 1556); and Michelangelo Buonarroti and six of his poems (1534-1547/1550). In my close readings, I analyze how these writers incorporated the subterranean in their works, producing textual representations that engage with and transform classical and medieval sources and motifs, and how these representations are impacted by cultural and historical moments that affect readers' interpretations. Sitting at significant convergences of history (personal and collective), literature, and culture, these writers produce subterraneans that respond philosophically to larger existential questions about the human, its place in the cosmological order of the universe, and the purpose for seeking out the subterranean to attain higher truths.
