italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Aliette,
Thank you for posting your query to the italian-studies list. I don't
have my complete notes to hand, but I would suggest trying to locate
the following:
*The Inferno of Dante Alighieri : canto I-XXXIV, with a translation
in English blank verse, notes, and a life of the author.* By Henry
Francis Cary. London: Printed for James Carpenter, 1805-1806. Italian
and English on opposite pages. 2 v. (v. 1 Canto I-XVII.--v. 2. Canto
XVIII-XXXIV.)
Of related interest there is: Foscolo, Ugo. 'Dante'. *The Edinburgh
Review or Critical Journal*, vol. 29, no. 58, February 1818, pp.
453-474; this contains a review of Biagioli’s edition of Dante, and
of Cary’s translation of the *Commedia*.
You could also look at:
*La divina commedia, or The divine vision of Dante Alighieri in
Italian & English*. The Italian text ed. is by Mario Casella, with
the English version of H. F. Cary. [London]: Nonesuch, 1928.
The final word on Cary's translation is:
Crisafulli, Edoardo. *The vision of Dante. Cary’s translation of The
Divine Comedy.* Market Harborough, UK : Troubador, 2003. [series
'Troubador Italian Studies']. (I don't have this book with me as I
write, but I'm sure you will find more references in this book.)
Best wishes,
George Ferzoco
