Krátky popis
The year 2021 marks the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante
Alighieri, a poet who, as T. S. Eliot put it, 'divides the world
with Shakespeare, there being no third'.His, like ours, was a world
of moral uncertainty and political violence, all of which made not
only for the agony of exile but for an ever deeper meditation on
the nature of human happiness. In Why Dante Matters, John Took
offers by way of three in particular of Dante's works - the Vita
Nova as the great work of his youth, the Convivio as the great work
of his middle years and the Commedia as the great work of his
maturity - an account, not merely of Dante's development as a poet
and philosopher, but of his continuing presence to us as a guide to
man's wellbeing as man. Committed as he was to the welfare not only
of his contemporaries but of those 'who will deem this time
ancient', Dante's is in this sense a discourse overarching the
centuries, a discourse confirming him in his status, not merely as
a cultural icon, but as a fellow traveller.
