Summary
One of the greatest works of world literature, Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy has, despite its enormous popularity and importance, often stymied readers with its multitudinous characters, references, and themes. And until now, students of the Inferno have lacked a suitable resource to guide their reading.
