Dante's Inferno

by Hunt Emerson, Kevin Jackson

Overview

The dazzlingly talented cartoonist who has previously brought new humorous life to the works of Coleridge, Casanova, D.H. Lawrence and John Ruskin, has gone for the biggest literary name of them all. INFERNO delights on many levels: as a translation of classic verse into knockabout farce; as an effortlessly readable introduction to the poem; as a crib for Dante students. Also with Kevin Jackson’s word essay on Dante, which explains how the comic developed from the original.
