About the Author

Dante Alighieri was born in Florence Italy in 1265. He published his first book of poetry, La Vita Nuova, in 1293. In 1301, a political dispute lead to his exile from Florence. Over the next few years he made his home in Verona, Lucca, and other cities. By 1310 he had written Inferno and Purgatorio, the first two books of his Divine Comedy. He wrote the third and concluding book, Paradiso, in the years after he found sanctuary in Ravenna in 1318. An allegorical account of his wanderings in a spiritual wilderness and eventual salvation under the guidance of his beloved Beatrice, The Divine Comedy is recognized as Dante's masterwork and a landmark of world literature. He died in exile in 1321 and was buried in Ravenna.
