of Italian literary tradition. The opening portion of the work sets the stage for an analytical study of Dante's "Divina Commedia," highlighting the significance of poetic invention and the sources from which Dante drew inspiration. Ginguené discusses the historical context in which Dante created his monumental work, noting the stark differences between the poetic landscape of ancient Greece, represented by Homer, and the tumultuous medieval period Dante inhabited. The text explores the challenges Dante faced overshadowed by societal upheaval, leading him to craft a poetic narrative that encompasses the complexities of human existence, morality, and the afterlife, with a nuanced description of the three realms of the afterlife: Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. Additionally, it underscores the richness of Dante's poetic technique and thematic depth, weaving in references to earlier literary giants as a way to underscore Dante's literary legacy.
