Description: "My aim reaches not to another world, but I am content to take Dante himself as my guide for an earthly pilgrimage ; following him through the ancient cities of Northern Italy from one refuge to another in his long exile, up the steep mountain path, by the river side, along many a by way far from the busy haunts of men, where the world which the poet saw still lives unchanged after six centuries. To stand where he stood, to look upon the scenes which met his eyes, seems to bring him very near us.

[...]

Thus I have sought to follow step by step the poet of the Divina Commcdia, telling in his own words the story of all the men and women he met by the way, and gathering together the legends which sprang up like flowers wherever his footsteps passed".

From the Prelude.
