I'm in full recovery and ready to start our walk again at the wild and truly unprecedented PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, a canto so woolly that it has created its own large subset of scholars! So gird up your loins. New episodes start on 12 November 2025. I can't wait!

WALKING WITH DANTE is coming back!

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.
