Dante utilized the epic of Virgil as the basis for his
poems. Influenced Milton's 'Paradise Lost'. 'House of Fame'
and 'Parliament of Fowles' by Chaucer show borrowings and
translations from D.
'Dante set modern Europe a great example, a model of sublimity
in literature; though he did indeed supply English writers
with many a thought and phrase, nevertheless his influence is
chiefly indirect'.
