Divine Comedy

Dante

Henry Francis Cary (1814)

Composed by Dante Alighieri in Italian between roughly 1308 and 1320, during his exile from Florence, and comprising the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. It narrates the poet's allegorical journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, guided first by Virgil and then by his idealized beloved Beatrice. Widely regarded as the supreme work of medieval Christendom and one of the greatest long poems ever written, it fuses classical, scholastic, and vernacular traditions into a single cosmic vision.
