description: Bypassing Dante's exquisite poetry that sends scholars into rapture but frightens other readers, Lindskoog presents the Christian epic in clear modern English prose that captures the essence of the story he tells. Notes explain contemporary allusions now grown obscure. Purgatory is due Fall 1997 and Paradise Spring 1998. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
