Posters of History: Dante ft. Eleanor Janega and Luke Waters

Ten Thousand Posts

In the latest of our posters of history series, Phoebe is joined by one of our history correspondents Eleanor Janega and her We're Not So Different Co-host Luke Waters to talk about Dante Alighieri, the pioneering Italian poet, writer, philosopher and poster. We talk about the historical context of 13th and 14th century Florence, posting yourself into exile, cultural innovation and the wisdom of immortalising your haters.
