Like his groundbreaking Inferno (Hackett, 2009) and Paradiso (Hackett, 2017), Stanley Lombardo's Purgatorio features a close yet dynamic verse translation, innovative verse paragraphing for reader-friendliness, and a facing-page Italian text. It also offers judicious headnotes and notes by Ruth Chester and an Introduction by Claire E. Honess and Matthew Treherne.
