Abstract:

Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) maintained that translation destroys the harmony
of poetry. Yet his Commedia has been translated into English time and again
over the last two-and-a-bit centuries. At last count, one-hundred and
twenty-nine different translators have published at least one canticle of the
Italian masterwork since the first in 1782, and countless more have translated
individual cantos. Among them there are some of the finest poets in the
English language, including Robert Lowell and the Irish Nobel Laureate Seamus
Heaney. Smith and Sonzogni have assembled and annotated two complete
translations of Dante’s most popular canticle, Inferno, each canto translated
by a different translator. To Hell and Back is a celebration of the art and
craft of poetry translation; of the lexical palettes and syntactical tempos of
the English language; and, of course, of the genius of one of the greatest
poets of all times.
