Voices on Dante’s Purgatorio
Voices on Dante’s Purgatorio
A New Critical Reading of the Second Canticle (September 2022 – September 2023)
organized by: Prof. Dr. Zygmunt G. Barański (University of Notre Dame) and Prof. Dr. Maria Antonietta Terzoli (Universität Basel)
Following on from the complete critical reading of the Inferno that took place between March 2019 and March 2021 under the auspices of the Istituto di Italianistica dell’Università di Basilea and The William & Katherine Devers Program in Dante Studies at the University of Notre Dame, the aim now is to organize a critical reading of the Purgatorio along the same lines. This will be divided into five meetings, each of two and a half days, that will take place remotely in line with three of the five meetings dedicated to the Inferno.
As occurred with the Inferno, the aim of the meetings is to assess and discuss the individual cantos. The discussions will bring together the speakers, as well as colleagues and undergraduate and postgraduate students. On the first evening of each meeting, there will be a public lecture dedicated to the following topics connected to the Purgatorio.
The lecturae and an edited version of the discussions will be published by Carocci of Rome.
