Inferno: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions)

This Norton Critical Edition of Danteâ‚¬s masterpiece is based on Michael Palmaâ‚¬s verse translation, which is acclaimed for its elegant rendering of Danteâ‚¬s triple-rhyme scheme into contemporary English.
Richard Wilbur praises Palmaâ‚¬s translation as â‚¬Å“accurate as to sense, fully rhymed, and easy, as a rule, in its movement through the tercets. Readers will find it admirably clear and readable.â‚¬Â The text is accompanied by detailed explanatory annotations. Also included in this edition are an illuminating introduction by Giuseppe Mazzotta, a Translatorâ‚¬s Note, The Plan of Danteâ‚¬s Hell, and six maps and illustrations. â‚¬Å“Criticismâ‚¬Â provides twelve interpretations by, among others, John Freccero, Robert M. Durling, Alison Cornish, Teodolinda Barolini, Giuseppe Mazzotta, and Robert Hollander. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
