Criticism about Dante Alighieri

Dante and the Bowery
https://www.bartleby.com/lit-hub/history-as-literature/dante-and-the-bowery/
“It is the conventional thing to praise Dante because he of set purpose ‘used the language of the market-place,’ so as to be understanded of the common people; but we do not in practice either admire or understand a man who writes in the language of our own market-place.”
Contains: Criticism, Commentary
Author: Theodore Roosevelt
From: History as Literature, and Other Essays 1913

Dante, Chaucer, and the Currency of the Word: Money, Images, and Reference in Late Medieval Poetry
http://web.clas.ufl.edu/users/rashoaf/dccw.html
“This book begins to deal with the analogy by mapping Dante’s reaction to money in the Commedia. My method is cross- disciplinary and from time to time uses history, economics, sociology, philology, and literary criticism. Dante’s reaction to money, the map makes clear, leads to thestructure from which his poem comprehends imagery and the operation of poetic discourse. This map I next follow to Chaucer. Chaucer, I argue, is no mere quoter of virtuoso passages. Rather, he is a great interpreter of Dante. He is so, in part, because of his own efforts to come to grips through poetry with the power and the meaning of money.”
