  This is a fine effort by the Dante Society, now nearing completion.
The English (UK) translation of the Divine Comedy is the Allen Mandelbaum
translation (1980-82)...I thought he was American! The English (US) version
is the Hollander translation (2001) but here is still of the Inferno only.
The Vita Nuova translation is Mark Musa's 1983 translation. This site now
gives a very good comprehensive view of Dante though serious readers will
want to compare other versions of individual works and critical commentaries
online as well. Dante is now very well represented on the Web. See also:
