This enthralling new translation of Dante's Inferno 'immediately
joins ranks with the very best' (Richard Lansing). One of the
world's transcendent literary masterpieces, the Inferno tells the
timeless story of Dante's journey through the nine circles of hell,
guided by the poet Virgil, when in midlife he strays from his path
in a dark wood. In this vivid verse translation into contemporary
English, Peter Thornton makes the classic work fresh again for a
new generation of readers. Recognizing that the Inferno was, for
Dante and his peers, not simply an allegory but the most realistic
work of fiction to date, he points out that hell was a lot like
Italy of Dante's time. Thornton's translation captures the
individuals represented, landscapes, and psychological immediacy of
the dialogues as well as Dante's poetic effects. The product of
decades of passionate dedication and research, his translation has
been hailed by the leading Dante scholars on both sides of the
Atlantic as exceptional in its accuracy, spontaneity, and
vividness. Those qualities and its detailed notes explaining
Dante's world and references make it both accessible for individual
readers and perfect for class adoption.

The acclaimed translation of the Inferno that retains all of the style, power, and meaning of the original. This vigorous translation of the Inferno preserves Dante's simple, natural style, and captures the swift movement of the original Italian verse. Mark Musa's blank verse rendition of the poet's jouney through the circles of Hell re-creates for the modern reader the rich meanings that Dante's poem had for his contemporaries. Musa's Introduction and commentaries on each of the cantos brilliantly illuminate the text.
