SynopsisDante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European Middle Ages. Writing his Comedy (the epithet 'Divine' was added by later admirers) in exile from his native Florence, he aimed to address a world gone astray both morally and politically. At the same time, he sought to push back the restrictive rules which traditionally governed writing in the Italian vernacular, to produce a radically new and all-encompassing work.
Dantes's "Inferno" is a great read. Written in tercets (which is remarkable), it continues to hold up quite well in this day and age and leaves the reader with much food for thought.
Highly recommend.
