Table of ContentsReviewsCelano's treatment of Inferno falls between a literary criticism and a study guide. Faces is an easy read but one that helps sort the complexities of Dante's masterpiece. Celano touches lightly on scripture allusions and historical subtexts. At times, Celano mentions a scriptural connection but without assisting the reader with a fuller discussion of the allusion. However, the author gives other discussions, such as Dante's placement of certain groups within the circles of Hell, a more through treatment. The book is well organized, beautifully illustrated, clear, and engaging. An informative introduction assists readers in learning from Dante's world, and a brief conclusions adds a final Christian commentary of Dante's thesis. This title works best as a study guide to a literature course or for Dante aficionados. Recommended for college libraries and literature collections. --Susan M.
