Essays on the most celebrated Italian poet by eminent poets of the twentieth century "Perhaps confessions by poets, of what Dante has meant to them, may even contribute something to the appreciation of Dante himself." -T. S. Eliot The great fourteenth-century poet has been an unequaled influence on many writers in the twentieth century, whose "confessions" may well foster a deeper appreciation of Dante.
