It takes a look at certain features and common  characteristics in his writing. There is also a  brief outline of the Commedia's journey from Italy  to England and America in order to understand the  interest of English translators in Dante's work and  the reason for the multiple translations that exist  of his main work. In this study, I try to examine  the truth behind the assertion that poetry is  untranslatable. Thus, four of the most  significant English translations were chosen in  order to analyse the success of these translations  as poetic  works. The translators in question are: Henry  Francis Cary; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; Dorothy  Sayers; and Mark Musa. With such a comparative  analysis, this book spans the last two hundred years  of translation, and thus brings out the latest  issues in the translational field. This  study is restricted to a number of crucial cantos  which will serve as specimen to the whole poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844397482\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Comparative Analysis of Four English Translations of Extracts from Dante's Inferno\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844397482","offer_id":39471247065181,"sku":"9783844397482","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/7cdd61de-efd7-49db-b780-6598d76cbfd1.jpg?v=1759120789","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/hell-or-inferno-von-victor-bonanno","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
