This vintage book is the third volume of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's
1867 translation of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy". "The Divine
Comedy" is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and
1320. Arguably the most important work in the Italian language, it is
widely believed to number amongst the greatest works of literature ever
produced. This volume constitutes a must-read for serious lovers of
poetry, and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet and member of the
Fireside Poets. Many classic books such as this are becoming
increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in
