Carnival

Carnival sets out to provide an historically positioned and ideologically motivated “reading” and rewriting of Dante's Divine
Comedy, its mode of narration reflecting Dante's allegorical language, its imagery continually evoking the Dantean “pretext”, and the structure of its action repeating in the decentred world of twentieth-century colonial displacement Dante's journey through the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso under the guidance of Virgil and, later, Beatrice.
