Episode 72 - Dante's Inferno (and rest of the Divine Comedy)

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts. In our seventy-second episode, we invite Friend of the Podcast (and Abby's best friend/medieval historian) Justine back to the show to school us on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. We focus primarily on the 'Inferno' section and get really caught up on Dante being a civil engineering girlie.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: Motet, 'Ypocrite / Velut stelle / Et gaudebit' (14th century) Hosted on Acast.
