Dante Alighieri

The book explores the intersection of Dante Alighieri's legacy and contemporary views on sexuality, particularly in light of a recent declaration by an English conservative prime minister supporting gay marriage. This statement challenges the long-held conservative interpretations of Dante's identity, suggesting a reevaluation of his work free from idealistic biases. It argues that recognizing Dante's sexual identity does not diminish his genius or the emotional depth of his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, but rather enriches the understanding of his contributions to literature.
