An insightful biography of Florence?s famous son
Acclaimed biog rap her R. W. B. Lewis traces the life and complex development? emotional, artistic, philosophical?of this supreme poet-historian.

It is in this masterpiece of self-discovery and redemption that Lewis finds Dante?s own autobiography?and the sum of all his shifting passions and epiphanies.
