Abstract

This thesis fs devoted · entirely to a comparison of the Aeneid VI of Virgil and the Inferno of Dante. Many authors have stated points of similarity, but much research has failed to uncover any published work which makes such a comparison the whole subject of discussion. The quotations, cited in this thesis, are taken from the Aeneid, both Latin and English versions, from a translation of the Inferno, and from the works listed in the bibliography. Many books supplied helps and hints; but special indebtedness must be acknowledged to the World Review of October 4, 1926, which suggested the first chapter, and to the Milwaukee Sunday Sentinel for the illustrations. It is not presumed that this thesis includes every point of similarity between the two Infernos, but merely endeavors to show that a likeness does exist.
