Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Purgatory and Paradise It was just after the publication of Warton's History that the first English version of the Inferno was published. It was the work of Mr. Charles Rogers, ER S., a man of culti vated taste, whose two folio volumes of Prints in Imitation of Drawings by the Great Masters are still valued by lovers of the fine arts. His translation appeared anonymously in a quarto volume in 1782. I know it only by extracts from it, and, so far as one may judge from these specimens, it is a very respectable performance, in its general fidelity to the original and in the well-sustained measure of its blank verse. It is at least to be held as a superior work to the version of the In ferno by the Rev. Henry Boyd, an Irish clergyman, which appeared in 1785, and which was republished, seventeen years later, in 1802, with the addition of the other portions of the poem, forming thus the first complete English translation of the Divine Comedy. Mr. Boyd's notes and preliminary essays show that he had prepared himself for his task by some study of Italian history, but he was not a profound nor a very accurate scholar, and his notions of translation were of the most liberal character. His work is in iambic verse in stanzas of six lines, of which the first two, the third and sixth, the fourth and fifth rhyme. He makes no attempt to reproduce the qualities of the style and diction of the original, but is content with a free and fluent paraphrase of its meaning, often remoulding Dante's sentiment no less than his words, and adding to his thought or subtracting from it, not merely according to the need of the verse, but at times apparently according to the moral sense of the translator, or his wish to supply what he esteemed defective in the original. The very opening stanza affords a good example of his method. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Purgatory of Dante Alighieri Vol 2 written by Charles Lancelot Shadwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Purgatory of Dante Alighieri, Vol. 2: The Earthly Paradise But even such a statement as this must not be pressed too far. Dante's conception of represent ing in a figure the scheme of man's redemption is, in his own phrase, polysensuous. On one side, it classifies and exemplifies all human passions, all human aspirations and desires, all the hind rances and all the helps which delay or assist man in fulfilling the law of his being. The Inferno shows how each evil passion indulged in brings its own appropriate punishment: the Purgaforz'o shows by what painful discipline it may be sub dued and eradicated. These lessons are not wholly new: they are a part of pagan morality: and they are illustrated from the teaching of pagan philo sophers, and from the examples of pagan lives. Here it is appropriate that Virgil, the typical re presentative of unassisted human wisdom, should be the pilgrim's guide and teacher, the exponent of pagan morality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Paradise of Dante Alighieri The transition from the 'purgatory' to the 'paradise' will produce, it may be feared, on the minds of many readers the deterrent effect which Dante himself seems to have foreseen. Several of the reasons which, in the preface to the second Cantica, I urged as justifying the claims of that part of the Commedia to special attention no longer apply. The mere fact that the doctrine of the Church respecting the future state would preclude Dante from introducing many of his own contemporaries as already glorified spirits 1 is sufficient, in some measure, to account for a falling-off in the human interest of the poem. Most of the personages who are introduced are, as it were, the common property of all mankind They do not owe their very identity to their.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Purgatory and Paradise The Poet describes the delight he experienced issuing a little before dawn from the infernal regions, into the pure air that surrounds the isle of Purgatory; and then relates how, turning to the right, he beheld four stars never seen before but by our first parents, and met on his left the shade of Cato of Utica, who, having warned him and Virgil what is needful to be done before they proceed on their way through Purgatory, disappears; and the two poets go towards the shore, where Virgil cleanses Dante's face with the dew, and girds him with a reed, as Cato had commanded. O'er better waves to speed her rapid course The light bark of my genius lifts the sail, Well pleased to leave so cruel sea behind; And of that second region will I sing. In which the human spirit from sinful blot Is purged, and for ascent to Heaven prepares, Here, O ye hallow'd Nine I for in your train I follow, here the deadend strain revive; Nor let Calliope refuse to sound A somewhat higher song, of that loud tone Which when the wretched birds of chattering note Had heard, they of forgiveness lost all hope. Sweet hue of eastern sapphire, that was spread O'er the serene aspect of the pure air, High up as the first circle, to mine eyes Unwonted joy renew'd, soon as I 'scaped Forth from the atmosphere of deadly gloom.
