Dante: The Story of His Life | Marco Santagata, Richard Dixon
post image

#TBRtemptation post! This is a sweeping & in-depth biography of one of literature's greatest achievers. Santagata brings together an immense amount of scholarship to compile this bio. Dante's "Divine Comedy" was a paradoxical masterpiece, a universal poem heavy on personal anecdote. Dante's exile from Florence despite his strong intentions is given particular attention. Can't wait to read this one ???????! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
