This book is a study on an artist and his world. The author, A. N. Wilson, has argued that anyone who does not have an understanding of medieval Florence, will not be able to fully understand Dante’s The Divine Comedy. Summary of the Book Dante In Love is the result of A. N. Wilson’s obsession with Dante. It talks about the poet’s life and passions. He was a man who had never spoken about the mother of his children, but he still managed to make Beatrice a popular name for those who know him. Beatrice has been a great influence on many people and has changed the way we view love and sex. The book explains how the political issues of medieval Europe, the new banking system, and the popularity of ancient philosophy brought about Dante’s masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. The book is a lovely introduction to Dante Alighieri and his epic masterpiece. About A. N. Wilson A. N. Wilson is an English writer and newspaper columnist.
