Dante's vision, The Divine Comedy, has profoundly affected every generation since it first appeared in the early 14th century. The box set contains the trilogy of The Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise, plus a biography of Dante —A Life of Dante — which puts the very personal nature of his poetry into perspective.

Heathcote Williams, poet, playwright, and actor, has made a significant contribution to many fields. He is best known for his extended poems on environmental subjects: Whale Nation, Falling for a Dolphin, Sacred Elephant and Autogeddon. His plays have also won acclaim, notably AC/DC and Hancock's Last Half Hour. He has taken memorable roles in Orlando, Wish You Were Here, and Derek Jarman's The Tempest, in which he played Prospero.
