Henry Wadsworth Longfellow devoted years to his landmark translation of Dante’s Divine Comedy, published in 1867. His rendering of the Inferno — titled here simply Hell — is widely praised for its fidelity to the original Italian and its dignified blank verse, making it one of the most enduring English versions of Dante’s poem.
Longfellow was himself one of America’s greatest poets, and his intimate knowledge of Italian literature gives this translation a depth that few rivals match. This free EPUB presents his complete translation of the Inferno, cleanly formatted with canto divisions preserved.
