Notes and commentaries by artist Tom Phillips for the adaptation of the first eight cantos of Dante's Inferno that he co-created in 1989 for Channel 4. It was broadcast as a mini-series in 1990, using a range of experimental visual imagery that mixed 'talking head' speech, text, animation, live action and abstract art. The book provides an introduction by Channel 4 commissioning editor Michael Kustow, details about how Phillips and Greenaway worked together on the adaptation, followed by an explanation of Dante's work and a commentary on each of the eight cantos.
