By writing his poem in the Italian vernacular rather than in Latin, Dante influenced the course of literary development, making Italian the literary language in western Europe for several centuries. Dante was instrumental in establishing the literature of Italy, and is considered to be among the country's national poets and the Western world's greatest literary icons. His depictions of Hell , Purgatory , and Heaven provided inspiration for the larger body of Western art and literature.Dante influenced English writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer , John Milton , and Alfred Tennyson , among many others.Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are known as the Tre Corone (" Three Crowns ") of Italian literature. In the 19th century a "Dante revival" emerged, itself a product of the medieval revival ( an important aspect of Romanticism ).As Thomas Carlyle wrote "( Dante ) is world-great not because he is worldwide, but because he is world-deep ... Dante is the spokesman of the Middle Ages ."Dante's works, especially The Divine Comedy , are still widely read some 700 years after his passing.
