"A vital guide ... It is difficult to imagine anyone seriously
interested in Dante who will not want to own this book" AN Wilson,
The Times Since Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy it has
defined how people imagine and depict not only heaven and hell, but
romantic love and the human condition. However, while Dante's works
are widely celebrated outside Italy, the circumstances of his
extraordinary life are less well known. Born in 1265, Dante's
adolescence was characterised by literary genius, but his political
activism in one of the medieval world's wealthiest cities led to
his death in exile. Pre-eminent Dante scholar Alessandro Barbero
and celebrated translator Allan Cameron bring the poet vividly to
life. Animating the political intrigue, violence, civil war, exile
and cities that shaped Dante's poetic and political life, this is a
remarkable portrait of one of the creators of European literature
and a towering medieval figure in time for the 700th anniversary of
his death.
