'Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them: there is no third'. - T.S. Eliot
Dante Alighieri, an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher, stands out for his enduring and celebrated legacy. Unlike typical literature grounded in the present, Dante's Divine Comedy offers a transcendental experience, exploring profound spiritual and existential questions. His vivid depictions of Hell have a lasting impact, making his work timeless. Seven hundred years after his death, Dante remains influential, his works continuously revered and translated, a testament to his lasting significance in Western literature. Here, Richard Alston shares his insights on this remarkable poet, whom Pope Francis recently described as a witness to the innate yearning for the infinite present in the human heart.
Richard Alston is a former barrister, senior cabinet minister and diplomat, and currently a company director and occasional essayist.
