THE DANTE CLUB

By: Matthew Pearl

Softcover in Good Condition, the cover edges are a little scuffed and grubby

THE DANTE CLUB is set amidst a series of murders in the American Civil War era. It also concerns a club of poets, including such historical figures as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sir., and James Russell Lowell, who are translating Dante Alighieri's DIVINE COMEDY from Italian into English and who notice parallels between the murders and the punishments detailed in Dante's INFERNO.

The plot is largely fictional, although the main characters are real, including many of their biographical details. Supporting and background characters are mostly fictional, as are those directly involved with the murders.
