Abstract
This course will focus on the work of Dante Allighieri, the fourteenth-century Italian poet who translated his vision of the Christian afterlife into his epic poem The Divine Comedy, and whose work has had a profound influence on English writers from Chaucer to T.S. Eliot. We will read a few of the works that Dante read—including parts of Virgil‟s Aeneid and Augustine‟s Confessions—and we will follow the thread of one of Dante‟s preoccupations: the body and its relation to love, language, sin, and salvation. All readings and discussion will be in English.
