Mandelbaum's translation, with facing original text and with illustrations by Barry Moser, has been praised by Robert Fagles as \"exactly what we have waited for these years, a Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror, and profoundly moving depths,\" and by the late James Merrill as \"lucid and strong . . . with rich orchestration . . . overall sweep and felicity . . . and countless free, brilliant, utterly Dantesque strokes.\" Charles Simic called the work \"a miracle. A lesson in the art of translation and a model (an encyclopedia) for poets. The full range and richness of American English is displayed as perhaps never before.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of commentaries on the first part of the \u003ci\u003eComedy\u003c\/i\u003e consists of commissioned essays, one for each canto, by a distinguished group of international scholar-critics.
