Dante's Inferno (Bloom's Notes) Review

It is nice to have a more recent translation of a classic work. Often classical works are difficult to understand because even though in English, they are written in forms and modes that are "out of fashion" or not easily understandable to younger generations from lack of exposure. This version is easy to read and understand. The poetry is beautiful. I just think this project is exciting and it is so nice to see a compilation of work that includes so many contemporary poets.

Dante's Inferno (Bloom's Notes) Overview

A new telling of Dante’s Inferno, this translation is the most fluent, grippingly readable version of the famous poem yet, and—with all the consummate technical skill that is the hallmark of Sean O’Brien’s own poetry—manages the near-impossible task of preserving the subtle power and lyric nuance of the Italian original, while seeking out an entirely natural English music. No other version has so vividly expressed the horror, cruelty, beauty, and outrageous imaginative flight of Dante’s original vision.

Dante's Inferno is an epic poem written by one of the greatest poets ever. Dante goes through the nine circles of Hell just to save his true love. This is an amazing poem that many should enjoy.
