“Dante and the Idea of Rome.”

Davis, Charles Till. “Dante and the Idea of Rome.” Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1957.

Till’s careful study of Dante expands upon and confirms Gilson’s analysis of Dante as primarily a Christian poet. This book focuses on the poet’s vision of concrete history more than abstract ideas. While Dante’s thought is heterodox in many senses, his Christianity is a unifying and balancing factor in his thought.
