Understandable

+ Divine Comedy
+ The need for Quality Assurance ???

This is a great translation of Dante. I've read a few translations of The Inferno - once in high school and a different one in college. This one was far clearer and had better notes that either of them. Also, I am a fan of hardcovers for books such as this - ones that you intend to keep around. ...
  
  











  



  
The Divine Comedy of Dante
Dante Alighieri

NuVision Publications, 2007

This epic poem, The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri is considered by many to be the greatest lyric composition ever written. "Comedy" is used here in its classical sense--to indicate a story which begins in suspense and ends well. We start out with the author gone astray in a dark wood and assaulted by metaphorical agents of spiritual adversity. He is saved by Virgil who guides Dante through ...

CHARLES SINGLETON's translation of Divine Comedy

+ Divine Comedy

I capitalize CHARLES SINGLETON because amazon.com pile their customer reviews into one long list, admitting no differences between translations. SINGLETON's very literal prose best serves the reader who would read the original Italian, and clarify his reading by referring to the facing English ...

Inferno: A New Verse Translation by Michael Palma2 reviews
Dante Alighieri

W. W. Norton & Company, 2003

A compulsively readable translation.

+ Afternoon light like pollen../but what woke just now at 52..

Having explored many translations of Dante's Inferno, I found Palma's translation a revelation. I have read those by Mandelbaum, Sinclair, Singleton, Sayers, Anderson, Ciardi, Pinsky, Zapulla and Musa. Although all of them have things in their favor, none of these versions captured me the way ...

+ Sayers Meets Dante: Interpreting the Poet's Voice...

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 would dare to say that this is ...
