In the second volume of his definitive translation of The Divine Comedy, Mark Musa again brings his poetic sensitivity and skill as a translator and annotator to the difficult task of making Dante’s masterpiece vital for English-speaking readers. In Purgatory, Dante contemplates the origins of sin as he struggles up the terraces of Mount Purgatory on his arduous journey toward God. In Musa’s fine idiomatic translation - complete with prose introductions, bibliography, and glossary - Dante becomes the universal poet: sublime, grim, intellectual, simple, humorous, tender, and ecstatic.
