St. Louis Reads Dante

St. Louis Reads Dante invites readers of all backgrounds—curious newcomers and seasoned Dante enthusiasts alike—to join a monthly journey through Dante’s Comedy, one canto at a time. Each session brings together undergraduates, scholars, and community members for a guided reading and discussion led by scholars from many different disciplines and research areas. Each session will focus on one canto of Dante’s Comedy and will feature a lecture, the reading of the canto in both Italian and English, followed by an audience Q&A. This month’s event features Timothy Moore, John and Penelope Biggs Distinguished Professor of Classics at WashU.

Whether you’re discovering Dante’s epic poem for the first time or returning to it with fresh questions, this is a chance to engage deeply with a work that continues to inspire, provoke, and challenge across time.
