Abstract

Two Introductions to Dante
May 3, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about two books on Italian poet Alighieri Dante. These books are "Dante," by Henry Dwight Sedgwick and "The Power of Dante," by Charles Hall Grandgent. Sedgwick's calls his handbook an elementary book for those who seek in the great poet the teacher of spiritual life, which means that he has chosen, out of the various approaches to Dante, the one that seems to him the most immediate. If the reader can once be made free of the Dante country, its incidental beauties and benefits will be discovered in their time. Sedgwick allows a good deal of information, biographical, critical and allusive to transpire by the way but his aim is to pluck out the heart of Dante's spiritual mystery.
