The Divine Comedy, I. Inferno. Part 2
"The publication of the first part of Singleton's translation and commentary provides the most comprehensive annotated edition of theInfernoavailable in English. It is particularly valuable not only for the wealth of factual material but for the citing and translation of long passages from Dante's sources. . . . An indispensable tool for all serious students of theDivine Comedyin English and a valuable possession for all Dantisti."--Renaissance Quarterly"Although we have had many translations of theComedysince the eighteenth century, some of them notable re-creations, we have not really had a scholarly edition which aims at relative completeness of information about the language, ideas, and background of the poem. This Professor Singleton has provided."--Speculum
