Irma Brandeis
Irma Brandeis (1905–1990) was an American scholar of Dante Alighieri. Her work ''The Ladder of Vision'' was acclaimed as a breakthrough in Dantean studies upon its publication in the 1960s. Brandeis graduated from Barnard College in 1926. In her visits to Italy between 1933 and 1939 Brandeis became acquainted with the poet Eugenio Montale and was the inspiration for the metaphysical figure "Clizia" in his poetry, a coded senhal particularly prominent in his second book, ''Le Occasioni'' (The Occasions). The love story is narrated in Montale's posthumous book ''Lettere a Clizia'' (A. Mondadori, Milan 2006). Despite significant coverage in the literary press of the 1980s of her "Clizia" identity, Brandeis declined to clarify the nature of her relationship to Montale or discuss her possible significance in his work (particularly in poems she had helped translate).See (for example) this article by John AhernBetween the Love of Clizia and Mosca ''New York Times'', 23 February 1986 ...
