Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Purgatorio of Dante Alighieri: Rendered Into Spenserian English This little book does not pretend in any way to add to the knowledge of Dante: it is only an attempt to make him more readable. For those who can follow the Italian there are already numberless translations in verse and prose, but for those who can not or will not, none of these are of much service: neither modern verse, especially when hampered by elaborate rhyme, nor literal prose can reproduce at once the easy grace and the mingled quaintness and sublimity of the original. It is for this reason that the aid of Spenserian English has been sought. Spenser, like Dante, was a great poet: like him, he dealt with a world in part akin to, in part distinct from, the world of his day: his language, as is plain when it is compared with that of his contemporary Shakespeare, was purposely chosen and modulated to give an old-world and romantic setting to his theme: he too was quaint in diction: he too was sublime: he too, though in a far less degree than Dante, was a poet seer and would not have disdained "to make his undersong."
