Description
Biographe reconnu et auteur d'un célèbre ouvrage sur la ville de Florence, R. W. B. Lewis trace un saisissant portrait d'un des plus remarquables poètes de tous les temps. Il décrit l'évolution sentimentale, artistique et philosophique de celui qui fut un poète-historien de tout premier plan et de génie. Ce faisant, il dépeint le poète lyrique, hanté par l'amour et la mort, puis le grand maître du récit dramatique et allégorique. En juxtaposant un portrait de Dante et une description de son œuvre, depuis La Vie nouvelle, où le poète raconte son amour pour Béatrice, jusqu'aux derniers chants de la Divine Comédie, en passant par ses essais sur la langue et sur la politique, Lewis explore comme nul autre avant lui l'univers réel et imaginaire de cet incomparable créateur.
