Abstract
Matthew Pearl's The Dante Club is a historical fiction that set its story in the state of Massachusetts after the American Civil War, which ended in 1865. Along with the aftermath, xenophobia and anti-Catholicism were two important issues of the story presented by the author. More specifically, it is the story of a controversy over the presence of an Italian literary work, "Divine Comedy" to the country brought and about to be translated by a group of people named the Dante Club.
The main issue, which is analyzed in this study, is the controversy over the presence of "Divine Comedy" to America. The writer focuses his analysis on the attempts to reject that Italian masterpiece done by the dominance. The reasons of the rejection are based on the viewpoint of the dominance by the application of the Ideological State Apparatuses (ISA). ISA is a term used by Louis Althusser in his theory of ideology, which is applied in the analysis of this study
