An Introduction To WALKING WITH DANTE

An introduction to the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE.

I'm Mark Scarbrough, a former academic and working author.

This podcast is my passion project: to take on Dante's COMEDY passage by passage. I've taught it many times. But I've always felt rushed. I wanted to take this masterpiece at my speed. So here I go. No, here WE go.

I'll use my own English translation of the medieval Florentine. You can find these translations at markscarbrough.com or walkingwithdante.com. You can also find supplemental material for these episodes, including deeper interpretive issues, translation issues I don't handle in the podcast episodes, and even journaling prompts to bring Dante's poem into your life.

To begin, look for the header on my site labeled "INFERNO, Cantos I - IV." Sorry: the episodes are in reverse order. Squarespace won't let me change that. (And I've tried hacked code!) But scroll back a page or two and you'll find the first episodes for Canto I. See you there!
