Prologue: A discovery of bones -- Introduction: Dante's ghost -- I. Bones of contention and nationhood: Death and burial in Ravenna -- A marked grave -- Florentine remorse -- Holy grave robbers -- An empty tomb -- Prophet of Italy -- Saint Dante -- II. Fragments of redemption and warfare -- The redeemer -- Tomb of the poet-soldier -- Ill-gotten remains -- Manly Mediterranean bones -- Dante's Duce, Mussolini's Dante -- Dante's Roman temple -- Wartime perils -- III. Relics of return and renewal -- Dante dust -- Lost treasure -- Saved by love -- Dante's global face.

"Dante, whose Divine Comedy gave the world its most vividly imagined story of the afterlife, endured an extraordinary afterlife of his own. Exiled in death as in life, the Florentine poet has hardly rested in peace over the centuries. Like a saint's relics, his bones have been stolen, recovered, reburied, exhumed, examined, and, above all, worshiped. Actors in this graveyard history range from Lorenzo de' Medici, Michelangelo, and Pope Leo X to the Franciscan friar who hid the bones, the stone mason who accidentally discovered them, and the opportunistic sculptor who accomplished what princes, popes, and politicians could not: delivering to Florence a precious relic of the native son it had banished. In Dante's Bones, Guy Raffa narrates for the first time the complete course of the poet's hereafter, from his death and burial in Ravenna in 1321 to a computer-generated reconstruction of his face in 2006. Dante's posthumous adventures are inextricably tied to major historical events in Italy and its relationship to the wider world. Dante grew in stature as the contested portion of his body diminished in size from skeleton to bones, fragments, and finally dust: During the Renaissance, a political and literary hero in Florence; in the nineteenth century, the ancestral father and prophet of Italy; a nationalist symbol under fascism and amid two world wars; and finally the global icon we know today"--
