In the past seven centuries Dante has become world renowned, with
his works translated into multiple languages and read by people of
all ages and cultural backgrounds. This volume brings together
interdisciplinary essays by leading, international scholars to
provide a comprehensive account of the historical, cultural and
intellectual context in which Dante lived and worked: from the
economic, social and political scene to the feel of daily life;
from education and religion to the administration of justice; from
medicine to philosophy and science; from classical antiquity to
popular culture; and from the dramatic transformation of urban
spaces to the explosion of visual arts and music. This book, while
locating Dante in relation to each of these topics, offers readers
a clear and reliable idea of what life was like for Dante as an
outstanding poet and intellectual in the Italy of the late Middle
Ages.
