Overview
When Michael Palmaās translation of theĀ InfernoĀ appeared in 2002, it defied the conventional wisdom of literary commentators who had long argued that Danteās intricate terza rima form simply could not be rendered in ārhyme-poorā English. But Palmaās achievement in rhyming tercets was quickly received as a spectacular feat of poetic artistry that was āaccurate . . . admirably clear, and readableā (Richard Wilbur) and that, āin capturing the sense, sound, and spirit of the original... comes close to perfectionā (X. J. Kennedy).
Now, more than two decades later, Palma has applied the same virtuosic attention to the form and flow of the Purgatorio and Paradiso, attending to both the tiniest details and the grand design of the entire Commedia and offering a fluid and readable English version that reveals to contemporary readers the sound, sense, and awe-inspiring beauty of Italian literatureās greatest poem.
