Eliot's assertion about Dante's significance, this book provides a comprehensive critical overview of Dante's works, including "Vita Nova," "Convivio," and the "Divine Comedy." Scott explores Dante's poetic mastery, worldview, and the enduring relevance of his themes, while also addressing moral, political, and religious ideas. Grounded in contemporary scholarship, it offers a detailed analysis that bridges English-speaking Dante studies with Italian traditions, making it invaluable for both casual readers and serious scholars.
