Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts. In our seventy-second episode, we invite Friend of the Podcast (and Abby's best friend/medieval historian) Justine back to the show to school us on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. We focus primarily on the 'Inferno' section and get really caught up on Dante being a civil engineering girlie.

Episode Theme: Motet, 'Ypocrite / Velut stelle / Et gaudebit' (14th century)
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
