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.
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〔(italica.rai.it )〕〔a "senhal" is a pseudonym used in troubadour tradition as a coded mode of address, usually for a woman〕 particularly prominent in his second book, ''Le Occasioni'' (The Occasions).〔(Montale, Ungaretti, Saba: guida alla lettura ) by Tommaso Testaverde, on books.google.it〕 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 Ahern: (Between the Love of Clizia and Mosca ), ''New York Times'', 23 February 1986. Accessed 26 May 2013.〕
Brandeis was also a close friend of the poet James Merrill, who funded in her memory the Irma Brandeis Professorship of Romance Cultures and Literature at Bard College (where Brandeis taught from 1944 until her semi-retirement in 1979).〔New York Times. (Irma Brandeis, Professor, 84 ), 31 January 1990. Accessed 26 May 2013.〕 Merrill wrote in his 1993 memoir ''A Different Person'' about his unsuccessful efforts to encourage reconciliation between Brandeis and Montale late in life.〔 In a memorial tribute to Brandeis (not published until 2004), Merrill wrote of contacting Brandeis through a Ouija board after her death, and finding her happily reunited "in a manner of speaking" with Montale.〔Merrill, James. ''A Different Person.'' New York: Knopf, 1993, Chapter XIV; quoted in Merrill, James. ''Collected Prose''. New York: Knopf, 2004, pp. 604-607.〕〔Merrill, James. "A Memorial Tribute to Irma Brandeis," published in ''Collected Prose'', pp. 369-370.〕
