Halfway Through PURGATORIO . . . And A Breather!

Published on: 28th September, 2024

We're stopping the walk across the known universe for a moment to catch our breath!

The podcast WALKING WITH DANTE has reached the middle of PURGATORIO, has stepped just slightly beyond the middle of COMEDY as a whole, and the podcast is going on a brief, one-month hiatus to let us all rest up for what's ahead.

Check back soon! We'll be back on the walk in PURGATORIO, Canto XVII, toward the end of October, 2024, or maybe the first of November.

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.
