Über den Autor
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was born into a noble family in Florence and settled in Ravenna after being exiled due to a bitter feud in his home city. Celebrated as a poet from his youth, when he was among those whose writings in Italian were applauded for their sweet new style, Dante was also an influential literary and political theorist. His most famous works are The New Life (circa 1293); De vulgari eloquentia (circa 1304-7), a defense of the use of the vernacular in literature; and his epic vision of the afterlife, The Divine Comedy, which he began in 1307 and finished shortly before his death.D. M. Black is the author of several poetry collections, including With Decorum, The Educators, The Happy Crow, and Gravitations. His work has been included in Penguin Modern Poets and British Poetry Since 1945 and he has written numerous articles on Scottish poetry. He is now a practicing psychonanalyst and his papers on psychoanalysis have been published (under the name David M. Black) in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, British Journal of Psychotherapy, Journal of Consciousness Studies, and elsewhere. He lives in London.
