Synopsis
Dante's masterpiece of medieval literature contains many levels of meaning, including the literal (Dante's trip through hell, purgatory, and paradise); the allegorical (the progression of the soul toward goodness); and the moral (what it takes to lead a good life). Dante's great love, Beatrice, is seen in the poem as the personification of love and goodness.

Industry Reviews
"Robert Pinsky brings superb credentials to 'The Inferno of Dante' ...His skill and power as a poet inform every line of this splendid translation. He shapes sinewy lines whose edges you can actually hear. This is true verse."
New York Times Book Review - John Ahern
"Robert Pinsky's verse translation is fast-paced, idiomatic, and accurate. It moves with the concentrated gait of a lyric poem...[and] succeeds in creating a supple American equivalent for Dante's vernacular music where many others have failed. This translator is first and foremost a poet."
Edward Hirsch
"Line by line, canto by canto, Pinsky's version responds to every nuance of meaning in the original while its English remains fluid and colloquial...[it] is likely to define Dante for a generation, as Lattimore and Fitzgerald did Homer."
American Poetry Review - Alan Williamson
