Nick Havely examines the connections between Dante, the Franciscans and the Papacy as they appear in the Commedia and presents the poem as one concerned with an often dramatic confrontation between authority and idealism in the Church.

This study will appeal to scholars interested in medieval religious and intellectual history, as well as to readers of Dante's poem.
