This book studies the novels of writer Mark Helprin in relation to Dante’s Divine Comedy by demonstrating that Helprin’s novels are both popular works of literature and serious explorations of philosophical and political themes. In the end, Helprin’s novels offer a robust defense of liberal democracy, while advocating for ancient virtue.
