Excerpt from Dante the Man and the Poet
Another book on the life and works of Dante may be thought superfluous in View of the vast number already existent. But while ample provision has been made for scholars and students, there seems to be room for a Life which in small and convenient compass may give the general reader a connected account of the poet's career and a brief description of his writings.
