It is widely considered to be the preeminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature . The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world - view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century . It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language . It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso . </P> <P> The narrative describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise or Heaven, while allegorically the poem represents the soul's journey towards God . Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas . Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse". In Dante's work, Virgil is presented as human reason and Beatrice is presented as divine knowledge . </P>
