ITAL 238 - Dante’s Commedia: 100 Cantos to God

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)

An undeniable pinnacle in the history of literature, Dante’s Commedia tells the journey to the Netherworld through Hell, the newly created Purgatory, and Paradise. Imbued with passion (and rage) for the local affairs of medieval Tuscany while unapologetically geared toward a universal understanding of history, Dante’s Commedia is a challenging philosophical and poetic masterpiece that this class will unfold in its entirety. This is a zero-textbook-cost class: all required materials are public domain. Alberto Gelmi.

Two 75-minute periods.
