但丁·阿利吉耶里（Dante Alighieri，1265-1321）认为翻译破坏了诗歌的和谐。然而，在过去的两个多世纪里，他的喜剧作品一次又一次被翻译成英文。据最新统计，自 1782 年第一部以来，已有一百二十九位不同的译者出版了至少一首意大利杰作的颂歌，还有无数人翻译了个人颂歌。其中不乏一些最优秀的英语诗人，包括罗伯特·洛厄尔和爱尔兰诺贝尔奖获得者谢默斯·希尼。史密斯和松佐尼整理并注释了但丁最受欢迎的颂歌《地狱》的两个完整译本，每个颂歌都由不同的译者翻译。 《To Hell and Back》是对诗歌翻译艺术和技巧的庆祝；英语的词汇调色板和句法节奏；当然，还有有史以来最伟大诗人之一的天才。
Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) maintained that translation destroys the harmony of poetry. Yet his Commedia has been translated into English time and again over the last two-and-a-bit centuries. At last count, one-hundred and twenty-nine different translators have published at least one canticle of the Italian masterwork since the first in 1782, and countless more have translated individual cantos. Among them there are some of the finest poets in the English language, including Robert Lowell and the Irish Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney. Smith and Sonzogni have assembled and annotated two complete translations of Dante’s most popular canticle, Inferno, each canto translated by a different translator. To Hell and Back is a celebration of the art and craft of poetry translation; of the lexical palettes and syntactical tempos of the English language; and, of course, of the genius of one of the greatest poets of all times.
