An Interview And Reading Of Inferno, Canto XXVIII, Lines 58 - 129 With J. Simon Harris And His New Translation Of Inferno

Published on: 19th June, 2022

Guido da Montefeltro speaks!

And he speaks with the voice of J. Simon Harris, whose new translation of INFERNO has just been published.

Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for an interview with Harris about his new translation and then his own reading of Guido's unforgettable, self-serving, and (ultimately) self-damning monologue from this eighth evil pouch in the lower parts of fraud.

Here are the segments of this episode of the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE:

[01:57] My interview with J. Simon Harris on his new translation of INFERNO.

[21:07] Harris reads his own translation of Guido's monumental monologue: INFERNO, Canto XXVII, lines 58 - 129.

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.
