Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy has defined how people imagine and depict heaven and hell for over seven centuries. However, outside of Italy, his other works are not well known, and less still is generally known about the context he wrote them in. In Dante, Barbero brings the legendary author's Italy to life, describing the political intrigue, battles, city and society that shaped his life and work. The son of a shylock who dreams of belonging to the world of writers and nobles, we follow Dante into the dark corridors of politics where ideals are shattered by rampant corruption, and then into exile as he travels Italy and discovers the extraordinary color and variety of the countryside, the metropolises, and the knightly courts"--Book jacket flap. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Authors, Italian $y To 1500 $v Biography. 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y 1268-1492. 651 0 $a Italy $x Politics and government $y 1268-1559. 700 1 $a Cameron, Allan, $d 1952- $e translator. 941 $a 8 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240514011609.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024249.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033033.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220902015655.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220401030300.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220302010633.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220302010254.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220112010034.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4959C66A737511EC9E8CBBD120ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
