Illuminates Dante’s work

An insightful guide to Dante’s poem. I highly recommend that listeners alternate between listening to a canto and then Vernon’s commentary.

Christian theological, NOT literary analysis

This should be made more clear for any subscribers. A believer and admirer can still take a critical eye, which is entirely absent here.

Dante is creating a narrative, and one in which he is blessed by God. Just because he says something, doesn’t make it true or honest. He’s an author and a person from the 1300s with frankly limited education and worldly scope, not a prophet or self-help guru.

Dante was a politician, who was on the losing side over a what most modern readers would consider a pretty petty religious squabble. He wasn’t sent to the gulag and minutes from execution like Dostoyevsky. He swanned around at his friends’ palaces. So let’s keep that in mind when he discusses his suffering life. He is also clearly driven by personal animus in many sections. He is using the written word as polemic against his enemies.

Also, as a modern woman, I’d say his use of Beatrice is creepy AF. As someone familiar with literature, I understand that he is writing in the tradition of courtly love. Regardless, it is weird. And there is a lot of weird in the DC. I wish Vernon engaged with it.

For ppl who aren’t fully able to follow the text, the explanations and call outs here are strong, even though I sometimes vehemently disagreed.
