Description

The story of Dante Alighieri and Beatrice Portinari, from
1282 to 1290, furnishes the most romantic episode of
Dante's life, and was the period which, of all others, left the deepest imprint on his imagination.

I have attempted (with what success the reader will
determine) to pourtray the lovers in their knowledge and
appreciation of one another, amid their several homes, and in the social and political conditions that surrounded them.
