”The Hollanders have rendered both the supple lyricism and the rich
imagery of the Purgatorio with an admirably informed expertise. . .
. A model for all translators.” The Literary Review
“The Hollanders’ translation . . . seems the most accessible and
the closest to the Italian. . . . The provision of informative
notes . . . is impeccable . . . with ample commentary easily and
unobturisvely available at the end of each canto.” --Tim Parks, The
New Yorker
“The Hollanders’ translation is probably the most finely
accomplished and may well prove the most enduring.” --R.W. B.
Lewis, Los Angeles Times
