This newly released edition presents Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's esteemed verse translation of Dante Alighieri's magnum opus, The Divine Comedy, comprising all three canticles of the revered trilogy: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Written between 1308 and 1320 in vernacular Tuscan, The Divine Comedy is a seminal work of Italian literature and a cornerstone of the literary canon. This epic poem narrates the protagonist's journey through the realms of the afterlife, traversing Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, offering a richly imaginative vision of the medieval Catholic cosmology.
Longfellow's masterful translation, first published in 1867, is a landmark work of literary artistry in its own right, renowned for its fidelity to the original text and poetic nuance. This edition provides readers with a unique opportunity to engage with Dante's sublime masterpiece through Longfellow's skillful rendition, affording profound insights into the medieval worldview and the enduring power of The Divine Comedy.
