Overview: DANTE ALIGHIERI was born in Florence in 1265 and belonged to a noble but impoverished family. In 1302, Dante, during an absence from Florence, was condemned to exile and eventually settled in Ravenna. While there he completed The Divine Comedy, which he began in about 1308. Dante died in Ravenna in 1321. The Divine Comedy is a long Italian narrative poem widely considered to be the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem’s imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. You may have never read a single line of The Divine Comedy, and yet you’ve been influenced by it.
This Septcentenary Omnibus edition, marking 700 years since Dante’s death, brings together the long out-of-print Dorothy L. Sayers translation, including her notes and verbal images, alongside those of John Ciardi, Mark Musa, Allen Mandelbaum and Robert & Jean Hollander. In three volumes. NOTE: Barbara Reynolds completed Sayers’ Paradiso following Sayers’ death. Reynolds completion is included here.
