Publisher Description:
What is more creepy and Gothic than Salem? Psychics, Ghosts, Halloween, Witches, and a maze of tunnels skirting the edges of the Inferno all abound within this quaint little town. Did you know that the Transcendentalist formed here and within Concord? Out of that movement the Dante Club was formed. The two leading members, Longfellow and James Russell Lowell would descend to Salem to be entertained by family and friends. Lowell even came to town to lecture on Dante's Inferno at the Salem Lyceum which would be engulfed in flames in time. Upon the completion of Longfellow's translation of the Inferno his publisher asked if they should have illustrations for his folio. Longfellow answered it was beautiful enough as it is and that there would be little chance to find any illustrations of quality for the story. Little did they know that Dore had just finished his folio of illustration for the Inferno the year previous in France. It is only through Dore's illustrations does our younger generation have any knowledge of Dante and his Inferno. His images have adorned T-shirts, tattoos, and record albums. In our edition we present to you the complete folio of Dore's illustrations returned to their proper placement within the text. So we hope you enjoy this classic merger of the most famous translation of Dante with the greatest illustrations of all time!
