Covering key elements of his life and essential works, this episode tracks the life of The Great Poet Dante Alighieri, author of The Divine Comedy. Using key literary movements, we discuss the greater influences on Dante's poetry, the dolce stil novo, and how it fits into the greater context of Mediterranean literature.
Additionally, the podcast covers in part his Vita nova, demonstrating the role of Beatrice in his life and works. All of this helps frame the political catastrophe that exiled Dante from his beloved Florence.
