Written during his exile from Florence in the early 1300s, Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy' describes the poet's travels through hell, purgatory, and paradise, exploring the state of the human soul after death. His poema sacro, sacred poem, profoundly influenced Renaissance writers and artists such as Giovanni Boccaccio and Sandro Botticelli and was venerated by modern critics including Erich Auerbach and Harold Bloom. Dante's 'Divine Comedy' narrates the remarkable reception of Dante's masterpiece, one of the most consequential religious books ever written.
