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'.
