Divine Comedy: Dante Alighieri
built 645 days ago
With DANTE’S DIVINE COMEDY: JOURNEY TO JOY, Lewis’s hope seems to be fulfilled. Nothing could be more useful today than enabling people to understand Dante. And nothing could be a better tribute to C. S. Lewis than the clearest, most accurate, and most readable edition of PARADISE ever published in English.

This opening canto is an introduction to the entire Divine Comedy. This is made clear in the closing lines, when Virgil tells Dante that he can guide him only so far towards Paradise, and then another guide will have to take over because Virgil, being born before the birth of Jesus Christ, cannot ever be admitted to the “Blessed Realms.”

Danteworlds is conceived as a complement to--not replacement of--the experience of reading and discussing Dante's Divine Comedy. It is therefore recommended that you first read the cantos describing a particular region (click here for links to the text in electronic form) and then visit that region in Danteworlds.
