by Kathryn Lindskoog

"The Inferno in Lindskoog's capable hands gallops forward, expressed in a terse and sinewy prose... The narrative moves as fast as Dante does, scrambling ever downward in company with his guide, the poet Virgil, "down," as C. S. Lewis wrote, "to the frozen centre," where Satan stands forever in the ice of his frigid selfhood. After that, everything else in the Commedia leaps upwards.... Happily recommended."

A highly readable edition that adds a variety of new material, supplemented by reverences to Dorothy Sayers, C.S. Lewis, and many other Dante commentators.

The contents themselves, based upon Dante's writings of the early 14th century, are as fresh as today's news. Happily recommended.
