“girl dump him, men are all the same, they only want one thing and it's disgusting”

my god i am going insane. he was so utterly broken and traumatised by the constant humiliation he faced since his exile that his resentment and anger and bitterness and hopelessness reverbered through his poetry and yet he was able to overcome it. in such dire material and mental conditions he was still able to elaborate an intricate vision of hope. i am losing my mind over this guy

“I crown and miter you lord of yourself.”

- Vergil’s last words to Dante in Purgatory, illustrated by Salvador Dalì

the truth is dante had the worst religious gay panic of all and cavalcanti was a depressed yet self-aware gay who didn’t need no god and that’s why they never fucked and yet broke up and dante put cavalcanti’s dad in hell

new page of vates later....we're so back

For all that has been written about the author of the Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) remains the best guide to his own life and work. Dante’s writings are therefore never far away in this authoritative and comprehensive intellectual biography, which offers a fresh account of the medieval Florentine poet’s life and thought before and after his exile in 1302.

Beginning with the often violent circumstances of Dante’s life, the book examines his successive works as testimony to the course of his passionate humanity: his lyric poetry through to the Vita nova as the great work of his first period; the Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia and the poems of his early years in exile; and the Monarchia and the Commedia as the product of his maturity. Describing as it does a journey of the mind, the book confirms the nature of Dante’s undertaking as an exploration of what he himself speaks of as “maturity in the flame of love.”

The result is an original synthesis of Dante’s life and work.
