dante, longfellow and dore'

The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: Volume 1: Inferno (Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri Reprint Series)

Dante Alighieri

Oxford University Press, USA, 1997

Stunning clarity of meaning...
This edition of the Inferno is by far the best English translation available for the serious student of Dante. No absurd attempt to emulate the poetic style is made here, it's strictly prose. Moreover, it's clear, easy to read prose. Remember, it was written in the ...

The Divine Comedy (The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso)

Dante Alighieri

NAL Trade, 2003

Three and a Half Years Later...
...I finally finished this wonderful book (today)! To tell the truth, it was the kind of book I put away for a few weeks or months and then picked it up again, reading a few cantos at a time. As assumed by most, I believe the Inferno may be the best of the three ...

The Divine Comedy: Hell (Penguin Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 1950

Golden Oldies
First of all, a warning: the "Comedy" is a complex work, and we are constantly updating our understanding of it. However, once one has finished whatever annotated and/or translated version is currently at the apex of knowledge, it is well worth going back to Sayers. I ...

Dante's Inferno

Dante Alighieri

Macmillan UK, 2008

Medieval vision of the afterlife
This was required reading for a graduate course in medieval history. Dante Alighieri's (1265-1321) "Devine Comedy" weaved together aspects of biblical and classical Greek literary traditions to produce one of the most important works of not only medieval literature, ...

The Divine Comedy: Volume 1: Inferno (Penguin Classics)

Penguin Classics, 2002

Medieval vision of the afterlife

The Divine Comedy, Part 2: Purgatory (Penguin Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 1955

Pleasant Guide
A warning: this is by now an rather old translation, and theres always more to explore in Dante. That being said, it has many insights newer translations lack, and its a brilliant example of a period - if you want to understand how the understanding of Dante has ...

The Divine Comedy Part 3: Paradise (Penguin Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 1962

Hame one cannot give 6 stars...
This is not the most up - to - date translation: however, it is one of the more worthy bits of the history that has grown up around the Comedy, and its perspective is still of practical use. (She actually tries to avoid Freud, for example). Her misunderstandings are ...

The Inferno (Signet Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Signet Classics, 2001

A powerful translation of a masterpiece
There have been several excellent translations of Dante in the past few years, all worth reading in their own right. But I retain a special affection for John Ciardi's version, as it's the first one I ever read, at the unprepared & overwhelmed age of 15. I knew of its ...

The Divine Comedy

Dante Alighieri

W. W. Norton, 1977

This is the Edition to Own
What can one say about the Divine Comedy? It's one of the greatest epic poems, and influenced literature immensely. Though it was forgotten for a while, 19th century Romantic poets "re-discovered" it; James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, and Samuel Becket are among those who were ...

The Divine Comedy: Paradise (Penguin Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 1986

Wonderful, Informative, Scary Story
My interest in classic literature did not arise until recently. I read many reviews which indicated that people with this such interest absolutely MUST read Dante's Inferno. With that hefty weight upon my "newbie" shoulders I decided to undergo the journey that so many ...

Vita Nuova (Oxford World's Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Brilliant
Dante will remain my favorite author, ever, final, no questions asked, and though I love the Divine Comedy, it was refreshing to read something that told more of his own story: the agony over Beatrice and the trials of his own life. This is a must read for any Dante ...

The Portable Dante (Penguin Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 2003

The All-In-One Dante
"The Portable Dante" provides readers with the complete "Divine Comedy" (Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise), an excellent biography on the author, historical background, a great translation by one of the the best translators of the genre, and Dante's often forgotten work ...
