The Middle A ges were dying whenD ante was born. The Crusades and the long strife between the Popes andE mperors were wellnigh ended. The Schoolmen had culminated inT homas A quinas. Feudalism was in its wane. Simon de Montfort in England and the cities of the Continent were already asserting the cause of liberty. It was in the decay of a great age thatD ante stood forth as its spokesman and poet. To choose any one date as the end of a great historic period must always seem arbitrary, but, so far as Dante is concerned, theM iddle A ges may be said to have terminated within a year of his birth.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, divided into three parts, dives into the life and contributions of Dante, venerated Italian poet of the Middle Ages. Beginning with the Battle of Benevento in 1266, where France's triumph over Germany foreshadowed the decline of the Holy Roman Empire and the papacy, the author traces the era into which Dante was born. Part two explores Dante's hometown of Florence and the political power struggles he witnessed. The final part of the book delves into Dante's most famous work, the Divine Comedy, offering analysis of its structure, themes, symbolism, and its exploration of sin and redemption. Throughout, the book highlights the profound influence of Dante's work on Western literature and thought, solidifying his place as a literary icon whose insights into the human condition remain insightful and resonant today.
