His early poetry falls into the tradition of love poetry that passed from the Provencal to such Italian poets as Guido Cavalcanti, Dante's friend and mentor. Dante's first major work is the Vita Nuova, 1293-1294. This sequence of lyrics, sonnets, and prose narrative describes his love, first earthly, then spiritual, for Beatrice, whom he had first seen as a child of nine, and who had died when Dante was 25. Dante married about 1285, served Florence in battle, and rose to a position of leadership in the bitter factional politics of the city-state. As one of the city's magistrates, he found it necessary to banish leaders of the so-called \"Black\" faction, and his friend Cavalcanti, who like Dante was a prominent \"White.\" But after the Blacks seized control of Florence in 1301, Dante himself was tried in absentia and was banished from the city on pain of death. He never returned to Florence. We know little about Dante's life in exile. Legend has it that he studied at Paris, but if so, he returned to Italy, for his last years were spent in Verona and Ravenna. In exile he wrote his Convivio, kind of poetic compendium of medieval philosophy, as well as a political treatise, Monarchia. He began his Comedy (later to be called the Divine Comedy) around 1307-1308. On a diplomatic mission to Venice in 1321, Dante fell ill, and returned to Ravenna, where he died.? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllen Mendelbaum's\u003c\/b\u003e five verse volumes are: \u003ci\u003eChelmaxions\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Savantasse of Montparnasse\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eJourneyman\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Absence\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eA Lied of Letterpress\u003c\/i\u003e.

As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante encounters doomed souls including the pagan Aeneas, the liar Odysseus, the suicide Cleopatra, and his own political enemies, damned for their deceit.

He repeatedly opposed the machinations of Pope Boniface VIII, who was attempting to place all of Tuscany under Papal rule, and in 1301 was banished from Florence. Dante would never again enter his native city, spending his remaining years with a series of patrons in various Italian courts. He completed The Divine Comedy shortly before his death in 1321. Gustave Doré (1832-83) was one of the most popular and prolific French illustrators of the mid 19th century.","brand":"Dante Alighieri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45289160671460,"sku":"9780812977264","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9780812977264.jpg?v=1781131963"},{"product_id":"inferno-dante-alighieri-paperback-2","title":"Inferno -- Dante Alighieri, Paperback","description":"\u003cb\u003eTranslated by Anthony Esolen\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations by Gustave Dor \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA groundbreaking bilingual edition of Dante's masterpiece that includes a substantive Introduction, extensive notes, and appendixes that reproduce Dante's key sources and influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.32w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812970067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Esolen\u003c\/b\u003e is a published poet and professor of English at Providence College who has written extensively on Renaissance and medieval literature.
