| And finally... | | Book review: Hell: Danteâs Divine Trilogy Part One, by Alasdair Gray | Dante is a poet whom everyone acknowledges as canonical, and whom very few actually read. I have several translations of the Divine Comedy to hand: Henry Careyâs earliest one of 1814, the Penguin Classics version by Dorothy L Sayers â yes, the crime novelist â Mark Musa, Robin Kirkpatrick, Ciaran Carson, Clive James â yes, him off the telly â and others. All have their virtues and their faults. |
