La divine comédie est un des grands chefs-d'oeuvre de la littérature, toutes époques confondues. Elle raconte le périple du poète à travers l'enfer, le purgatoire et le paradis. Dans chacun de ces lieux, le poète rencontre des personnages célèbres antiques ou contemporains que leurs actions ont menés en ces lieux. Ainsi, Dante complète-t-il par son poème en langue vulgaire les enseignements de l'Eglise sur l'au-delà. Son oeuvre est une précieuse source d'information sur la société du Moyen Age. Bien sûr à travers son oeuvre Dante s'accorde-t-il le privilège de placer les personnages de son choix au sein de l'enfer, du purgatoire ou du paradis. Ainsi règle-t-il quelques comptes politiques avec les puissants qui se disputèrent l'Italie. Le succès de la divine comédie fut tel que le langage utilisé, le toscan, fut ainsi consacré comme la langue italienne par excellence. Dante ALIGHIERI (1265-1321) est un homme politique, un poète et un écrivain italien. C'est le premier grand écrivain de langue italienne. Dante est né à l'époque des luttes entre Guelfes et Gibelins, c'est-à-dire entre partisans du pape et partisans de l'empereur. C'est l'époque où le Saint-Empire Romain Germanique perd son unité et qu'émergent toutes ces principautés italiennes. Fortement impliqué dans la politique florentine, Dante luttera contre l'ingérence papale et, après la victoire de celui-ci contre Florence, finira sa vie en exil. Didier HALLÉPÉE, érudit passionné par les classiques du Moyen-Age a sélectionné ces textes pour vous.

Born Dante Alighieri in the spring of 1265 in Florence, Italy, he was known familiarly as Dante. His family was noble, but not wealthy, and Dante received the education accorded to gentlemen, studying poetry, philosophy, and theology. His first major work was Il Vita Nuova, The New Life. This brief collection of 31 poems, held together by a narrative sequence, celebrates the virtue and honor of Beatrice, Dante's ideal of beauty and purity. Beatrice was modeled after Bice di Folco Portinari, a beautiful woman Dante had met when he was nine years old and had worshipped from afar in spite of his own arranged marriage to Gemma Donati. Il Vita Nuova has a secure place in literary history: its vernacular language and mix of poetry with prose were new; and it serves as an introduction to Dante's masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, in which Beatrice figures prominently. The Divine Comedy is Dante's vision of the afterlife, broken into a trilogy of the Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise. Dante is given a guided tour of hell and purgatory by Virgil, the pagan Roman poet whom Dante greatly admired and imitated, and of heaven by Beatrice. The Inferno shows the souls who have been condemned to eternal torment, and included here are not only mythical and historical evil-doers, but Dante's enemies. The Purgatory reveals how souls who are not irreversibly sinful learn to be good through a spiritual purification. And The Paradise depicts further development of the just as they approach God. The Divine Comedy has been influential from Dante's day into modern times. The poem has endured not just because of its beauty and significance, but also because of its richness and piety as well as its occasionally humorous and vulgar treatment of the afterlife. In addition to his writing, Dante was active in politics. In 1302, after two years as a priore, or governor of Florence, he was exiled because of his support for the white guelfi, a moderate political party of which he was a member. After extensive travels, he stayed in Ravenna in 1319, completing The Divine Comedy there, until his death in 1321.
