Description Readers' comments

Among Dante’s Epistole, the third and the fourth provide us with an autobiographical tale, expressed in rhymes that are attached to, about the vicissitudes and love experiences in the life of the exiled Florentine poet. But, is that really all? Wouldn’t be better to think to an effort to deepen moral themes, dealing with complex philosophical questions concerning the medieval debate on the human soul? The close relationship between love and free will, actually, is the leitmotiv in the whole Purgatory as well as in the referred enclosed rhymes; the aim of this article is to show the most relevant connections between the major Dante’s works and the two epistles.
