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 "For all these reasons, the poem, for certain brave linguistic souls, provides an irresistible challenge. And among the new versions of "Inferno," that of the Hollanders is probably the most finely accomplished and may well prove the most enduring." Los Angeles Times Book Review - R. W. B. Lewis (04/29/2001)
