Nov 26, 2009 - The idea of Dante had been taunting me for a while and I finally I bought Ciaran Carson's translation of the Inferno at the London Review Bookshop.

The complete text of this translation, by the scholar Robert Hollander and his wife, the poet Jean Hollander, is available on line along with audio readings of the Italian. Robert Pinsky's Inferno, which I read recently, is also especially strong.
