Summary

Giovanni Boccaccio: The Life of Dante

Already a cursory review of the increasingly frequent lists and top lists of the greatest writers of all time, it is noticeable that they have indispensible names in common: Homer, Dante, Boccaccio, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Goethe, Tolstoy, Joyce, Kafka...
As a rule, such strong and self-contained authorial personalities are focused on themselves and their work, but the protagonists of this small book are two who would surely find at the top of each list: the author is Boccaccio and the "theme" is Dante! They were contemporaries for only eight years: Boccaccio was born in 1313, and Dante died in 1321, so this biobibliographical "discourse" about Dante by Boccaccio is an expression of respect and admiration, but also a testimony of the creative imitation of his great predecessor.
Unprepared readers, as soon as they get used (and they will easily) to the highly stylized translation of Mate Maras, will be pleasantly surprised by the modernity of Boccaccio's reflections. He does not gloss over Dante's personal flaws, but points out that they are negligible in comparison to the divine work he left us: "so large, so lofty in structure, and so prominent a book... in the vernacular with so much skill, with such marvelous order and so beautiful, that there was still no one who could rightly beat him even in one part."
