Prerequisite: ITAL 140 (L4)
Offered in Siena, Italy.
A critical reading of the highlights of Dante's Divine Comedy with some attention to the minor works in an attempt to catch the complexity of concerns (political, ethical, poetic and theological) of the poet. The course will also seek to place Dante's intellectual/poetic production in the context of the various discourses of the late Middle Ages. The background of Italian medieval places, their architecture, paintings, and sculpture will deepen the sense of the conversation of the arts the Divine Comedy consistently dramatizes.
