| Summary | "Dante Alighieri, Apostle of Freedom: War-time and Peace-time Essays" by Lonsdale Ragg is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the multifaceted legacy of Dante Alighieri, portraying him as a champion of freedom across various domains, such as political, intellectual, and spiritual realms. Through this exploration, the author connects Dante's themes to contemporary issues, suggesting that the poet's insights are remarkably relevant in moments of conflict and struggle for liberty. The opening of this collection features Ragg's preface, establishing Dante as an "Apostle of Love" and freedom, reflecting on the historical resonance of his work amidst Italy's tumultuous past. Ragg emphasizes that Dante's contributions transcend time, suggesting that his ideals of liberty and justice have inspired generations, particularly during Italy's quest for unification and independence. This first section aims to contextualize Dante's relevance, inviting readers to consider how his perspectives on freedom could illuminate current challenges in society, especially in light of the atrocities of war.
