Abstract
THE many works in the English language which are being constantly added to the already colossal Dantesque literature are a subject for sincere congratulation alike to the country which gave birth to the immortal author of the Divina Commedia, and to the English nation. It is, I think, the most conclusive proof of the conspicuous greatness of Dante that his fame should increase in proportion as the era of which he was the first bard and prophet advances in civilisation. “Dante's Ten Heavens,” by Mr. E. G. Gardner, is one of the latest contributions to the great subject under discussion, and for the earnest and loving care which the author has evidently devoted to his work he deserves unstinted praise.
Dante's Ten Heavens.
By Edmond G. Gardner Pp. xii + 310. (Westminster: A. Constable and Co., 1898.)
