Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Purgatory
Dante Alighieri · Henry Francis Cary
About this book
Cary's blank-verse translation of the *Purgatory*, the second canticle of Dante's *Divine Comedy*, follows the souls of the dead as they climb Mount Purgatory and are purified of their sins. It will suit readers of classical mythology and epic poetry who want a classic English rendering of Dante's medieval vision of the afterlife.
Dante Alighieri
Dante Alighieri, widely known mononymously as Dante, was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.
