About Inferno: The Divine Comedy, Volume 1
Product Description An invaluable source of pleasure to those English readers who wish to read this great medieval classic with true understanding, Sinclair's three-volume prose translation of Dante's Divine Comedy provides both the original Italian text and the Sinclair translation, arranged on facing pages, and commentaries, appearing after each canto, which serve as brilliant examples of genuine literary criticism. Review "Solid text, useful notes."―Sahron Ann Jaeger, University of Pennsylvania "Sinclair's commentary shows his complete awareness of the extraordinary beauty of Dante's lines...and is remarkable for its concentration on the poem as an expression of Dante's own spiritual history. There is hardly a single beauty of detail to which he does not draw attention with an apt remark on its particular significance."―Times Literary Supplement "I have adopted it. It is a good translation, the prose appears more accessible to undergraduates. The side-by-side Italian/English is very helpful, and the notes at the end of each canto are excellent."―Helen Regueiro Elam, SUNY - Albany "It's convenient to have The Comedy in one volume. Good translation and notes. More economical for students."―Reverand James Collins, Holy Family College "The introduction gives essential biographical and historical background and a discussion of the form of the poem, and the extensive notes contain new material."―Manuscripta From the Back Cover Mr. Sinclair's three-volume prose translation of DANTE'S DIVINE COMEDY should prove to be an invaluable source of pleasure to those English readers who would read this great medieval classic with understanding. The original Italian test and the Sinclair translation are arranged on facing pages, and the commentaries, brilliant examples of genuine literary criticism, appear after each canto. About the Author Dante Alighieri (c. 1265-1321) was an Italian Florentine poet.
