Resources for studying Inferno


For years Yale has been the center of Dante scholarship, and has had a great deal of influence in the field. I studied Dante under a Yale Dante scholar, and the resources that you will find here are unparalleled.

I encourage you to explore the illustrations, summaries and meditations found at the Yale cite. The link to the meditations may be found here: https://dantesthedivinecomedy.wordpress.com/ideas/meditations-on-the-divine-comedy/

Class on Wednesday and Thursday

  • I assigned the first three cantos of Dante's Inferno. There are extra copies in C246. Please obtain a copy and read it if you were absent. Students also need to read the notes on each canto.
  • Before reading the cantos, we used "The Virtual Tour of Hell" to understand the structure and plot of Dante's hell. The resource can be found here: http://foxtwin.com/inferno/
