Dante And His Ideal is a book written by Herbert Baynes and first published in 1891. The book is a critical analysis of Dante Alighieri's life and works, focusing on his most famous work, The Divine Comedy. Baynes delves into the philosophical and theological themes that Dante explored in his writing, and examines the historical and cultural context in which Dante lived and worked. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Dante's life and work. Baynes begins by providing a brief biography of Dante, and then moves on to discuss the political and social climate of Italy during Dante's lifetime. He then delves into Dante's philosophical and theological beliefs, examining how they are reflected in his writing. Baynes also explores the literary techniques that Dante used in The Divine Comedy, including his use of allegory and symbolism. He examines the characters that Dante created, and how they represent different aspects of human nature. Throughout the book, Baynes emphasizes Dante's idealism and his belief in the power of literature to shape society. He argues that Dante's work is not only a masterpiece of literature, but also a profound statement about the human condition and the nature of reality. Overall, Dante And His Ideal is a thorough and insightful analysis of one of the greatest works of Western literature, and a tribute to the enduring legacy of Dante Alighieri.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
