Description:
With the publication of volumes 3 and 4 of the six-volume Divine Comedy, Mark Musa's verse translation vividly recreates Dante's vision of Purgatory. Musa's rendering is distinguished by the same flexible iambic verse, the same dignified understatement, and the same elegant clarity that characterize Dante's own majestic and complex style. Volume 3 presents Musa's updated translation with the Italian text on facing pages. Volume 4 features an extensive commentary, with discussions of both Dante's text and the interpretations of other scholars.
