Reviews for Dante

Took captures passionately and in meticulous detail the intellectual journeying Dante took in becoming one of the great portrait artists of the human condition. . . . This is a love letter magisterially crafted, eloquently rendered. ---Rachel Moss, Times Higher Education Powerful new readings. ---Peter Hainsworth, Times Literary Supplement Dante is an altogether authoritative and mighty intellectual biography - superlative in its writing and more than comprehensive in breadth of scope. ---David Marx, David Marx Book Reviews
