Musa's rendering is distinguished by the same flexible iambic verse, the same dignified understatement, and the same elegant clarity that characterize Dante's own majestic and complex style. Volume 3 presents Musa's updated translation with the Italian text on facing pages. Volume 4 features an extensive commentary, with discussions of both Dante's text and the interpretations of other scholars. |
