Charles Maurras, born on 20 April 1868 in Martigues and died on 16 November 1952 in Saint-Symphorien-lès-Tours, is a journalist, essayist, politician and French poet, member of the Académie française. A theorist of integral nationalism, he was one of the main animators of French Action.
This Council of Dante dates from 1913 and was a preface to the translation of Hell by Louise Espinasse-Mongenet. It was published separately in 1920, on the occasion of the sixth centenary of Dante's death. In 1944, when he took over the Council in Poetry and Truth, Maurras undoubtedly found a painful satisfaction in having predicted "a trial that everything is preparing". He had probably also rethought this in 1929 when Charles Benoist found another great Italian on the same theme, Machiavelli, in front of the Institut d'Action Française.
