Who was Dante? and can you give me examples of his work?

Answer 1

Dante Alighieri, a poet who lived in the Middle Ages. He was Italian and I think was writing in the late 1200s.

He wrote "The Divine Comedy" which is a tour of hell, purgatory and paradise.

Answer 2

Durante degli Alighieri, better known as Dante Alighieri or simply Dante, (c. June 1, 1265 – September 13/14, 1321) was an Italian Florentine poet. His greatest work, la Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy), is considered the greatest literary statement produced in Europe during the Middle Ages. The Dante Alighieri Society, founded in Italy in 1889, continues to promote Italian culture and language around the world in his name.

Answer 3

On the topic, you should read The Dante Club, by Matthew Pearl. It's a fun but intellectual murder mystery inspired by and based around Dante's Inferno. Enjoy!
