About the Author

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is considered to be the father of Italian poetry and one of the greatest influences in world literature. J. G. Nichols was awarded the John Florio Prize for his translation of the poems of Guido Gozzano. His translation of Petrarch's "Canzoniere" won the Premio Internazionale Diego Valeri in 2000. Gustave Dore (1832-1883) was a French artist and engraver who illustrated books for Balzac, Dante, Milton, Rabelais, and many more.

Dante Alighieri

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 in Florence. His family, of minor nobility, was not wealthy nor especially distinguished; his mother died when he was a child, his father before 1283. At about the age of 20 he married Gemma Donati, by whom he had three children. Little is known of Dante's formal education-it is likely to have included study with the Dominicans, the Augustinians, and the Franciscans in Florence, and at the university in Bologna. In 1295 he entered Florentine politics and in the summer of 1300 he became one of the six governing Priors of Florence. In 1301, the political situation forced Dante and his party into exile. For the rest of his life he wandered through Italy, perhaps studied at Paris, while depending for refuge on the generosity of various nobles. He continued to write and at some point late in life he took asylum in Ravenna where he completed the Divine Commedia and died, much honoured, in 1321.

    I have always loved Dante's work. Loaned my copy to someone years ago and it was never returned to me so I had to get another copy. Very pleased with this copy.

    My grandfather wanted a new copy of this poem after he read the latest Dan Brown book, "Inferno." This version had large print on large pages and was easy for him to read.

    I am thrilled to have found the old English version of this book that we used in my college class. It is a moving, outstanding work of literature. The only reason that this did not get a five star review is because the cover is all pixelated, but then I did not buy the book for its cover :)

    I ordered this used book expecting the image to match the product. Instead I was sent only the II: Purgatory section of the Divine Comedy. The seller said the book was in very good condition. A portion of the cover is missing and water stained. The book itself is very old. I was disappointed with the seller.
