title: The Divine Comedy, I. Inferno. Parts I and II
author: Dante
description: "The publication of the first part of Singleton's translation and commentary provides the most comprehensive annotated edition of the <i>Inferno</i> available in English. It is particularly valuable not only for the wealth of factual material but for the citing and translation of long passages from Dante's sources. . . . An indispensable tool for all serious students of the <i>Divine Comedy</i> in English and a valuable possession for all Dantisti." (<i>Renaissance Quarterly</i>)<br /><br />"Although we have had many translations of the <i>Comedy</i> since the eighteenth century, some of them notable re-creations, we have not really had a scholarly edition which aims at relative completeness of information about the language, ideas, and background of the poem. This Professor Singleton has provided." (<i>Speculum</i>)<br /><br />"Singleton's edition of the <i>Divine Comedy</i> will certainly be the edition for readers in English. The translation is much the most satisfactory one I know. The commentary is the most complete and authoritative in English. It is clear that Singleton's work on the <i>Inferno</i> supersedes everything else of the kind."<b>Francis Fergusson</b>
