The California Lectura Dantis is the long-awaited companion to the
three-volume verse translation by Allen Mandelbaum of Dante's
"Divine Comedy," Mandelbaum's translation, with facing original
text and with illustrations by Barry Moser, has been praised by
Robert Fagles as "exactly what we have waited for these years, a
Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror, and profoundly moving
depths," and by the late James Merrill as "lucid and strong . . .
with rich orchestration . . . overall sweep and felicity . . . and
countless free, brilliant, utterly Dantesque strokes." Charles
Simic called the work "a miracle. A lesson in the art of
translation and a model (an encyclopedia) for poets. The full range
and richness of American English is displayed as perhaps never
before."
This collection of commentaries on the first part of the "Comedy"
consists of commissioned essays, one for each canto, by a
distinguished group of international scholar-critics. Readers of
Dante will find this "Inferno" volume an enlightening and
indispensable guide, the kind of lucid commentary that is truly
adapted to the general reader as well as the student and scholar.
