| Summary | "Dante: Six Sermons" by Philip H. Wicksteed is a collection of theological discourses written in the late 19th century. The sermons are centered around the life, principles, and poetic legacy of Dante Alighieri, regarded as one of history's greatest poets, particularly notable for his profound exploration of spirituality, morality, and human existence in his works. Wicksteed aims to illuminate Dante's character as both a citizen of Florence and a poet, touching on themes of love, exile, and the quest for virtue. The opening of this work introduces readers to Dante Alighieri's significance as a cultural and political figure in medieval Italy. Wicksteed describes Dante's journey through personal losses, such as the death of his beloved Beatrice, and his transformation into a voice of moral and social authority. The text also highlights the tumultuous political landscape of Florence and the poet's aspirations for unity and virtue among his countrymen. Throughout the initial section, Wicksteed sets the stage for a deeper examination of Dante's experiences and insights, preparing readers for a comprehensive understanding of how Dante's personal narrative intertwines with his broader philosophical and spiritual quests.
