Dante and Medieval Culture I
COL 234
Fall 2006 not offered
Crosslisting: FIST 241, ITAL 226, MDST 245

The purpose of this two-semester course is to offer students as complete an immersion in the world of Dante's Divine Comedy as is possible without being able actually to read the poem in its original language. In addition to a careful and thorough line-by-line reading and discussion of the Comedy itself, the course will include attention to the art, architecture, and music of Dante's time, as well as to its history. Philosophical and theological materials relevant to the understanding of Dante's poetry will also be studied. The two semesters together should provide not only a thorough study of the Comedy, but also a detailed introduction to High Medieval culture.
