Divine Dante
A six-week guided reading of Dante’s masterpiece The Divine Comedy, brought to you by Alexandra Lawrence.
A story of hitting rock bottom and making the arduous but joyful climb up to the stars, Dante’s epic tale shows that the only way out is through. Dante’s journey through Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso took place at Easter 1300 …. so, 726 years later we invite you to immerse yourself in poetry, beauty, and profound insight into the human condition, with this inspiring journey through The Divine Comedy.
