"Edited by Eric Griffiths and Matthew Reynolds, this anthology explores the variety of encounters
between Dante and English-speakers across more than six centuries. Its detailed notes enable even
readers with little or no Italian to appreciate translations that range from the hilarious to the
inspired. Eric Griffiths's introduction explains how intricately Dante's work is tied to his own time,
yet still speaks across the ages. This edition also includes on account of Dante's life and a list of
further reading."--BOOK JACKET.
Translated from the Italian.
