Inferno

Robert and Jean Hollander’s translation is the new standard in English of this essential work of world literature. Robert Hollander, a renowned scholar and master teacher of Dante, and Jean Hollander, an accomplished poet, have written a beautifully accurate and clear verse translation of the first part of Dante’s epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Featuring the original Italian opposite the translation, this edition also offers an extensive and accessible introduction and generous commentaries, which draw on centuries of scholarship as well as Robert Hollander's own decades of teaching and research.
