Abstract: Using canto XIII as an example, the author takes issue with the excesses of those revisionist critics who maintain that anything in the Inferno which smacks of admiration or sympathy for the souls of the damned must be a delusion. Examples also drawn from the canto of the Sodomites and the canto of Ulysses.
