Take Heart, Fellow Walkers!
Release Date: 05/08/2022
Description: Hi, I'm Mark Scarbrough and we've been walking with Dante for a long time. We're doing it slowly, a passage at a time, and we've come through some of the roughest bits of INFERNO, passages that require a great deal of classical learning and poetic know-how.This episode is my attempt to step back and get our bearings again. Why are we taking this walk? Why should we wrestle with Dante's masterwork, COMEDY? And how does Dante make sure his work remains readable?Here are the segments of this episode of the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE:[00:53] I've upgraded my website to offer you the ability to write comments on these episodes! We can start conversations among others listening![01:54] Dante always moves the fence--and he's doing it with this "sin" of fraud.[08:31] Dante returns to the story of the walk again and again.[10:49] Dante is struggling to figure out how the past fits with the present--as are we![16:44] Dante is always gaming the poem.[18:38] Here's a review of the plot of COMEDY so far.

The Chaos Of Virgil, The Pilgrim Dante, Reason, And Revelation: PURGATORIO, Canto III, Lines 46 - 66
Release Date: 06/07/2023
Description: Virgil loses the way. Dante finds it. Virgil tries to figure it out. Dante uses the language of revelation. All to make sure Virgil can be the guide again, even when he's clueless about Purgatory.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we watch the irony deepen in this passage from PURGATORIO, Canto III. Dante the poet is playing a wicked game with his characters. And we have to walk slowly to see it.Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[02:16] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto III, lines 46 -66. If you'd like to read along, print it off, or drop a comment about this episode, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:17] The pilgrim Dante and his guide, Virgil, have apparently been walking all along beside incredibly rough terrain--which seems to bring out Virgil's sarcastic streak.[06:55] The clear difference: Virgil looks down; Dante looks up.[07:41] Dante sees human souls on the left. Many commentators believe Virgil and Dante are still following a hellish (leftward) direction.[10:16] Dante uses the language of revelation (after Virgil's discussion of the limits of human reason).[12:05] Virgil gets back on familiar ground as the guide because of Dante's revelation. Who's really the guide here?
