Synopsis
Excerpt from Aids to the Study of Dante
The Divina Commedia is singular among the great works with which it ranks, for its strong stamp of permnal character and history. In general we asso ciate little more than the name not the life of a great poet with his works; personal interest belongs more usually to greatness in its active than its crea tive forms. But the whole idea and purpose of the Commedia, as well as its filling up and coloring, are determined by Dante's peculiar history. The loftiest, perhaps, in its aim and flight of all poems, it is also the most individual; the writer's own life is chronicled init,aswell as the issues and upshotof all things. It is at once themirror to all time of thesinsand perfections of men, of the judgments and grace of God, and the record, often the only one, of the tran sient names, and local factions, and obscure ambitions.
