When was the divine comedy first translated into English and by whom?

The first complete English translation of *The Divine Comedy* was by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and was published in 1867.

However, it's worth noting that:

* Partial translations of the *Inferno* existed before Longfellow's complete work, starting with John Carlyle in 1827.

* Other complete translations have been done since, with some being more acclaimed than Longfellow's for their accuracy and literary quality.

Longfellow's translation remains significant for its accessibility and its role in introducing the *Divine Comedy* to a wider English-speaking audience.
