Although the author say's it isn't necessary to have read Dante's Inferno in order to appreciate 'The Dante Club' he does encourage you to do so. If you can't find a copy on your bookshelf, visit http://digital.library.upenn.edu/webbin/gutbook/lookup?num=1001 - which is part of Project Gutenberg - to read a complete reproduction of the Longfellow translation of 'The Divine Comedy' online.
