St. Louis Reads Dante - Inferno 8

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. Held at Washington University in St. Louis, 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.

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.

The series concludes on Tuesday, April 21 with Professor Robert Henke. Following the discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to explore a special showcase of manuscripts and rare objects related to Dante’s Comedy and medieval culture from WashU’s Special Collections.
