The Longest Journey: Dante's Hell Course/Class October 21, 2011

"Abandon hope all ye who enter here...." With these words Dante passes through the gate of hell and begins his epic journey through the nine circles. Dante's work has a visionary scope that is arguably unparallelled in the literature. We examine the central ideas and concerns, Dante's literary and philosophical debts, his message to his contemporaries (and to the modern world), and the details of this astonishing journey through a landscape that is at once evocative, timeless, awe-inspiring and unforgettable.
