Dante's Lost Letter
Dante's Lost Letter
For centuries, Dante’s Divine Comedy has transformed readers into pilgrims who journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven until they catch sight of “the Love that moves the sun and other stars.” Dante was led by Virgil, but who shall guide the twenty-first-century reader? In Dante’s Lost Letter, Louis Markos presents a fictional letter by the poet that winsomely guides the reader through the text, explaining literary and historical allusions, theological claims, and difficult passages along the way. Whether you are a seasoned pilgrim or picking up Dante for the first time, Markos’s enthusiasm and imagination will guide you to the heart of the poem.
