As an autobiographer  he looked unsparingly at his own failures to depict universal struggles. As a visionary  he dared draw maps of Hell  with Purgatory and Paradise  and populate all three realms with recognizable human beings. As a passionate lover  he became a poet of bereavement and renunication. As all of these  Dante Alighieri paved the way for modern literature  while creating verse and prose that remain unparalleled for formal elegance  intellectual depth  and emotional grandeur.  The Portable Dante captures the scope and fire of Dantes genius as thoroughly as any single volume can.
