About the author
Born in Florence around 1265, Dante Alighieri was a poet, writer, and thinker whose life unfolded during a time of fierce political conflict in Italy. He took part in Florentine public life, but after political upheaval he was exiled from his city and spent the rest of his life away from home.
That exile became part of the force behind his greatest work, The Divine Comedy, the epic poem that follows a journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. Blending theology, philosophy, personal grief, and sharp political insight, the poem became a cornerstone of European literature. Dante also wrote important works in prose and verse, including La Vita Nuova, which ties his inner life to his lasting ideal of Beatrice.
He died in Ravenna in 1321, but his influence only grew after his death. Dante is often called the father of the Italian language because he chose to write major works in the vernacular rather than only in Latin, helping bring literary prestige to everyday Italian speech.
