The Prophecy of Dante

"The Prophecy of Dante" is a story in verse written by Lord Byron in 1819 and published two years later (1821). The entire work was dedicated to Countess Guiccioli: in fact, the story was written in Ravenna (Italy). "The Prophecy of Dante" has been defined by many critics as a grandiose, turbulent, emotional and even mystical work.
