Dante's Divine Trilogy Reviews

One of the brightest intellectual and creative lights Scotland has known in modern times -- NICOLA STURGEON
A necessary genius -- ALI SMITH
Gray is a true original, a twentieth century William Blake * * Observer * *
One of the most gifted writers to have put pen to paper in the English language -- IRVINE WELSH
Praise for Dante's Divine Trilogy: Alasdair Gray has cast a spell over Dante's Hell, creating (and decorating) a verse translation that is modern, lyrical, yet faithful to the original * * New Statesman * *
Lucid, lyrical, imaginative * * Times Literary Supplement * *
An ancient masterpiece glistens again as his lyricism takes flight, while keeping one foot balanced on solid ground . . . Gray turns Dante's language into clear English, sometimes with a playful comic turn . . . Remarkable * * i * *
No other translator has made the narratives so clear or strong, and the distinctive power of the work lies in the clarity of the storytelling . . . This Hell is a magnificent feat of reimagining of one of the greatest of all human creations * * Herald * *
Powerfully conveys the appalling nature of a vision which has terrified and enthralled Western men and women down the centuries * * Times Literary Supplement * *
