It really makes those of us dependent on it for our knowledge of non-English writers feel very frustrated at times. I've labored through the Pevear/Volokonsky translations of War and Peace and Anna Karenina because because those seemed to be the most acclaimed translations...only to see a growing kickback against them, with some people saying that dusty old Constance Garnet has never been improved on...geeez!<br /><br />Sorry - doesn't have much to do with Dante - or does it?
