Dante: A Very Short Introduction by David Robey and Peter Hainsworth is a fantastic introduction to the work of the Italian poet, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). The book is essential reading before embarking on Dante’s great work, the Divine Comedy, as a lot depends on understanding the context of the poem and of the man who wrote it.
