An authoritative and comprehensive intellectual biography of the
author of the Divine Comedy For all that has been written about the
author of the Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) remains
the best guide to his own life and work. Dante's writings are
therefore never far away in this authoritative and comprehensive
intellectual biography, which offers a fresh account of the
medieval Florentine poet's life and thought before and after his
exile in 1302. Beginning with the often violent circumstances of
Dante's life, the book examines his successive works as testimony
to the course of his passionate humanity: his lyric poetry through
to the Vita nova as the great work of his first period; the
Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia and the poems of his early years in
exile; and the Monarchia and the Commedia as the product of his
maturity. Describing as it does a journey of the mind, the book
confirms the nature of Dante's undertaking as an exploration of
what he himself speaks of as "maturity in the flame of love." The
result is an original synthesis of Dante's life and work.
