Details

A Summer of Dante invites you to journey through The Divine Comedy in the company of fellow readers and expert guides. Read at your own pace, or deepen your experience by joining one—or all—of our seven discussion groups led by teachers, clergy, professors, and scholars. Our introductory session will be led by Dr. Mark Vernon, author of Dante’s Divine Comedy: A Guide for the Spiritual Journey.
