In this masterful retelling of one of the greatest works of world literature, Alasdair Gray - in his last work - offers an original translation in prosaic English rhyme. Lyrical and modern, this complete edition brings all three parts of Dante' s epic journey through Hell and Purgatory and on to Paradise together in a single volume for the first time.
' One of the brightest intellectual and creative lights Scotland has known in modern times' - NICOLA STURGEON ' A necessary genius' - ALI SMITH ' Gray is a true original, a twentieth century William Blake' - Observer ' One of the most gifted writers to have put pen to paper in the English language' - IRVINE WELSH ' Praise for Dante' s Divine Trilogy: Alasdair Gray has cast a spell over Dante' s Hell, creating (and decorating) a verse translation that is modern, lyrical, yet faithful to the original' - New Statesman ' Lucid, lyrical, imaginative' - Times Literary Supplement
Born in 1934, Alasdair Gray graduated in design and mural painting from the Glasgow School of Art.

In November 2019, he received a Lifetime Achievement award from the Saltire Society. He died in December 2019, aged eighty-five.
