- About The Author
- Florentine poet Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321) is best known for The Divine Comedy, a three-part epic poem that progresses from Hell to Purgatory to Paradise. Written in the vernacular, rather than Latin or Greek, Dante's masterpiece immediately found a wide audience; it is considered the greatest work of Italian literature and its author is regarded as the father of modern Italian. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882), author of The Song of Hiawatha and other beloved poems, was Professor of Modern Languages at Harvard University.
