The Florentine poet whose Divine Comedy charts the soul's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, a vision of the afterlife unmatched in scope and imaginative power. Writing in his native Italian rather than Latin, he helped forge a national language and produced what many consider the supreme poem of the Western Christian world.
