After reading the course title, several questions may come to mind. First, who
is Dante, and what isThe Divine Comedy? Second, why should I care about this
work in 2021?


Dante Alighieri was an Italian poet and statesman who lived between 1265 and
1321. His epic poemThe Divine Comedy is considered a masterpiece of the Middle
Ages and one of the all-time greatest works of Western literature.


In The Divine Comedy, Dante takes us on a remarkable journey through the
circles of the Inferno, up the slope of Mount Purgatory, and finally into the
celestial realms of Paradise. Not surprisingly, Dante’s epic poem on character
and the afterlife has inspired countless works of art, stories, music,
language, and even feature films.


But why should we study Dante today?


Dante wrote this poem to provide an education to anyone facing a great trial
or striving to lead an excellent life. The themes of this poem are freedom and
justice. And people like you who love liberty will have much to learn from and
celebrate in this classic work.
