A review by thomcote
The Purgatorio by Gustave Doré, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Julia Conaway Bondanella, Dante Alighieri, Peter Bondanella

5.0

The Purgatorio is even denser than the Inferno, but Ciardi's translation makes Dante's line-by-line meaning and grand structure easy to follow, with the accompanying footnotes clarifying the multitude of now-obscure allusions.
