What People are Saying About This

Robert Fagles

Exactly what we have waited for these years, a Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror, and profoundly moving depths.

T S Eliot

The Divine Comedy is a complete scale of the depths and heights of human emotion...The last canto of the Paradiso is to my thinking the highest point that poetry has ever reached or ever can reach.

Archibald MacLeish

A spectacular achievement...A text with the clarity and sobriety of a first-rate prose translation which at the same time suggests in powerful and unmistakable ways the run and rhythm of the great original."

Hugh Kenner

The English Dante of choice.

Editorial Reviews

Tough and supple, tender and violent . . . vigorous, vernacular . . . Mandelbaum's Dante will stand high among modern translations.
