"These interpretive essays on Dante's thought and poetry open to the general reader the vistas explored in that superb work of human spirit, The Divine Comedy. Miss Sayers has alrady translated the cantos on "Hell" and "Purgatory." Intitmate living with a work while translating it has enabled Miss Sayers to write a down-to-eath guide through the intricacies of simile, mataphor and allegory....The author gives a clear-cut understanding, based on Dante's own comments and replete with examples, of his use of imagery, both pictorial and symbolic....Avoiding the technicalities of both the literary critic and the theologian, Miss Sayers has written a vibrant book both for those who know and love The Divine Comedy and for those who have steered away from reading this masterwork of Chrisitian thought because of supposed difficulties" --Dust jacket.
