"Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them--there is no third."--T.S. Eliot "Ciardi has given us...a credible, passionate persona of the poet, stripped of the customary gauds of rhetoric and false decoration, strong and noble in utterance."--Dudley Fitts "A sensitive and perceptive translation...a spectacular achievement."--Archibald MacLeish "I think [Ciardi's] version of Dante will be in many respects the best we have seen."--John Crowe Ransom, "Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them--there is no third."--T.S. Eliot "Ciardi has given us...a credible, passionate persona of the poet, stripped of the customary gauds of rhetoric and false decoration, strong and noble in utterance."--Dudley Fitts "A sensitive and perceptive translation...a spectacular achievement."--Archibald MacLeish "I think [Ciardi's] version of Dante will be in many respects the best we have seen."--John Crowe Ransom, "The English Dante of choice." Hugh Kenner "Exactly what we have waited for these years, a Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror, and profoundly moving depths." Robert Fagles, Princeton University "A marvel of fidelity to the original, of sobriety, and truly, of inspired poetry." Henri Peyre, Yale University
