An End-Of-Year Hiatus Before We Walk The Fifth Terrace

Published on: 22nd December, 2024

We've climbed to the fifth terrace of Mount Purgatory. We are way up the mountain. We can barely see the shore where the angels boat arrived. We certainly can't make out the gate to Purgatory proper far below us.

The pilgrim gets a chance to sleep, so we should take our cue and take a breather to get used to the altitude.

WALKING WITH DANTE is going on hiatus for a few weeks, just until mid-January, so we can be rested and ready for the climb ahead.

About the Podcast

Walking With Dante
A passage-by-passage stroll through Dante’s DIVINE COMEDY with Mark Scarbrough
Ever wanted to read Dante's Divine Comedy? Come along with us! We're not lost in the scholarly weeds. (Mostly.) We're strolling through the greatest work (to date) of Western literature. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I take on this masterpiece passage by passage. I'll give you my rough English translation, show you some of the interpretive knots in the lines, let you in on the 700 years of commentary, and connect Dante's work to our modern world. The pilgrim comes awake in a dark wood, then walks across the known universe. New episodes every Sunday and Wednesday.
