| Description: | Select Guide Rating Marking the 700th centenary of Dante's death in 1321. Dante''s Purgatorio has been described as the most ''human'' of the three parts of his Comedy, and it can also be seen as a ''singing school'' for poets. This new complete translation by sixteen contemporary poets enters into dialogue with Dante''s text by rendering it in a variety of different Anglophone voices - American, Australian, British, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Singaporean. The poets in this Purgatorio adopt a range of forms, from blank verse to terza rima, and their translations are accompanied by explanatory notes, a ''prelude'' of poems about Purgatory, and a ''postscript'' of newly-translated medieval Italian lyrics relating to Dante and his poem. |
