Focusing on Dante's interaction with his contemporary audience, Justin Steinberg's study highlights the role of professional urban classes, such as merchants and notaries, in the cultivation of early Italian poetry. Through original research of manuscripts and documents, the author sheds light on how these groups not only responded to Dante's work but also played a crucial role in preserving and disseminating his poetry. This examination offers a fresh perspective on the social dynamics surrounding Dante's literary legacy.
