Seward Park Branch Library presents: Dante's Divine Comedy: A Pilgrimage in Seventeen Steps

An incredible upcoming online series from our colleagues:

"Dante's Divine Comedy tells the story of how the author's soul journeyed from the exile of a "dark wood" towards the light of its Native Land in God, in whose Image it was created. Steeped in the political, theological, and philosophical engagements of its time, this series of seventeen online lectures seeks to assist the reader and the merely curious alike in understanding the world of Dante, so that we may better understand ourselves."
