So. Dante bad?

-
Dante is an author of the Middle Ages to whom the budding Renaissance which would later come to bloom in poets like Boccacio and Petrarch often appeared as something negative.
-
He's a great if not the greatest author of the Middle Ages, the error is when we try to see him as an early modern author like Boccaccio or Petrarch. He wrote at the end of a world, about the end of that world.
