D.McAuliffe, R.Ricci A reading of the Vita Nuova and Divina Commedia in order to discover the subtle nuances of meaning in the text and to introduce students to Dante's tripartite vision of the afterlife. Dante's masterpiece lends itself to study from various perspectives: theological, philosophical, political, allegorical, historical, cultural and literary. Personal and civic responsibilities, love, genre, governmental accountability, church-state relations, economics and social justice, the tenuous balance between freedom of expression and censorship-these are some of the themes that will frame the discussions.
