Currently reading the Commedia. About to finish Inferno and then jump to Hell and It's Torments.

>I was at the middle of my life and saw that i was in a dark forest that i could not find my way out of. It’s difficult to describe that forest, it felt intimidating and confusing and i almost felt like i was dead. I was saved out of it, but i have to describe everything that happened before then.

Comedia

What's so good/cogent about Fascism? Why is violence necessary? What role did Dante Alighieri have in the ideology, because he's being mentioned so much?

What’s your favorite translation of The Divine Comedy? I’ve only read Esolen’s, but I really like it.

What's the difference between Stil Novo poetry, such as Dante's, and the previous Tuscan one?

I have not read a single Italian author. Besides Dante, who else is worth reading and what

was he really some sort of esoteric knight?

What English translation(s) of the Divine Comedy does /lit/ approve of? I have only read Longfellow.

Did people just read and write all day? How did they fill the hours with no internet and minimal entertainment

A godless pagan larper. The Justice of The Lord is swift, and He shall not be mocked.

Baudelaire is also burning in Hell for all eternity now. Sad, really. Were those pesky little poems really worth it, Mr. prurient Frenchman? Should've taken a page out of pic related's book, who is currently basking in Heavenly glory.

Hello, guys. I have three options. Please, which translation is the best? Charles Eliot Norton version, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow version or Henry Francis Cary?

I appreciate, thanks.

Hi /lit/, I'm looking for a flowchart/guide on translations of Dante's Inferno. I'm pretty sure I saw one posted here a few years ago.
