This work is a guide to the reading of Dante's great poem, intended
for the use of students and laymen, particularly those who are
approaching the Inferno for the first time. While carefully
pointing out the uniqueness, tone, and color of each of Dante's
thirty-four cantos, Fowlie never loses sight of the continuity of
the poet's discourse. Each canto is related thematically to others,
and the rich web of symbols is displayed and disentangled as the
poem's unity, patterns, and structures are revealed. What
particularly distinguishes Wallace Fowlie's reading of the Inferno
is his emphasis on both the timelessness and the timeliness of
Dante's masterpiece. By underlining the archetypal elements in the
poem and drawing parallels to contemporary literature, Fowlie has
brought Dante and his characters much closer to modern readers.
