Ep. 11: Dante's Divine Comedy Part 2: Purgatory and Paradise
Manage episode 335062110 series 3321867
In our final discussion of Dante's masterwork, The Divine Comedy, this analysis seeks not only to outline these last two books, but to show them as precursors to Renaissance thought, grounding Dante as both a writer of the Middle Ages and an object of proto-humanism.
What must Dante do to ascend Mount Purgatory and reach the heavenly realm, and how does his poetics amplify this? How does his strong reliance on classical reference clash with his contemporary Christianity?
