List of English translations of the Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri is an epic poem in Italian written between 1308 and 1321 that describes its author's journey through the Christian afterlife.

[1] The three cantiche[i] of the poem, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, describe Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, respectively.

The poem is considered one of the greatest works of world literature[2] and helped establish Dante's Tuscan dialect as the standard form of the Italian language.

[14] Many more translations of individual lines or cantos[ii] exist,[15] but these are too numerous for the scope of this list.

Described by The Cambridge Companion to Dante as the first "powerful, accurate, and poetically moving" translation.
