“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.

  3. Mrs. M. C –

    I’m reading the Divine Comedy and wanted some background about Dante. This is easy to read and I’m finding it interesting and enjoyable. I’m at a loss to know what the other reviewer meant by “notes were distracting”, etc. I’m sure when I’ve finished I’ll know a lot more than I did about Dante, which was nothing at all before I started. Perhaps the other reviewer was hoping for something dense and scholarly. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

  4. Mrs. O. –

    I love the “Divine Comedy” and this should have filled me in about the life of this poet. The way all the notes are in the narrative is totally distracting, they should have been in the back of the book. It could have been written by a student.
