Just a quick post to flag up some excellent comics by Julia Caterina Hartley, a fellow Dante fan who also stalks about Proust! Definitely worth a gander:
Julia’s re-interpretation of Dante’s encounter with Paolo and Francesca in Inferno V.
Inferno XV, 115-120 (as ever, from the the Hollander translation):
Then I turned to them again to speak
and I began: ‘Francesca, your torments
make me weep for grief and pity,
‘but tell me, in that season of sweet sighs,
how and by what signs did Love
acquaint you with your hesitant desires?’
