was considered by T. S. Eliot to be "the highest point that poetry has ever reached or ever can reach". While in his A Defence of Poetry Shelley declared: "Dante was the first awakener of entranced Europe; he created a language in itself music and persuasion out of chaos of inharmonious barbarisms . . . he presided over the resurrection of learning." But such plaudits were not always forthcoming.
