This translation served my needs
While I have a number of translations of Dante's "Divine Comedy," I wanted a newer one which would be easier to read in more or less modern English. This one suited my needs now.Ciardi is a poet rather than a Dante scholar, and his translation reflects that approach, but I found it very useful, especially with the extensive introductions and notes he provides. I would recommend this work to anyone who is new to Dante's contribution to Western literature.
