This thesis deals broadly with the strategy of communication used by Dante in the works written after his exile. This strategy being an evolutionary one, from the point of view of both the author and his readership, we have decided to adopt a chronological method for analysing the works so as to bring out their evolution. The major work of the Florentine poet, la Commedia, remains partly outside this chronological scheme since it covers the entire temporal space of the author's exile, constituting as it does the highpoint of his reflexion. Our analysis is centred as much, if not more, on the reader then on the author, considering that the former is the decisive element of the reading process. Deeply affected by his exile and wishing to transcend it on a social and ontological level, Dante organises his writing in such a way that it becomes a gloss on itself and orientates the reading of his work. In that way the reader loses the autonomy of his/her interpretation in order to follow a hermeneutical logic that takes into consideration the optative pattern of the author. By re-creating himself, intentionally and reflectively, in existential terms, as well as on the literary and professional level, Dante aspires to organise his writing in a way which contrasts voluntarily with the figure of the belittled exile. The reader is thus made to follow this new construction and to be its witness, remaining passive as a reader, but active too as an aspect of the message's transmission.
