This new critical volume, the second to appear in the threevolume Lectura Dantis, contains expert, focused commentary on the Purgatorio by thirtythree international scholars, each of whom presents to the nonspecialist reader one of the cantos of the transitional middle cantica of Dante's unique Christian epic. The cast of characters is as colorful as before, although this time most of them are headed for salvation. The cantobycanto commentary allows each contributor his or her individual voice and results in a deeper, richer awareness of Dante's timeless aspirations and achievements.
