Hell, Purgatory, Heaven, saints, sinners, God, history, theology, poetry...what more do we need?

A few years ago when my senior AP class was reading the Inferno, one of my students found this site:

We had quite a bit of fun with it, especially discussing how morals might change in a few hundred years.

This book is amazing..definitely one of my favourites. Not just within the "Classics" genre, but of all time.

In my first-year-seminar at college (Just for the Hell of It: The Seven Deadly Sins in Music and Literature) we were required to read Inferno and Purgatorio. Paradiso apparently was too boring comparatively according to my professor--not to mention that it wasn't quite on topic. I've went ahead and got a copy to complete my set, but haven't read it yet. I need to do that.

This is one book where footnotes are a hoot. I loved that Dante put so many of his enemies in hell. I think Paradisio was boring, I really just skimmed it.

I loved all three books. I actually found Paradisio quite beautiful. I read them as part of a class so it helped to have analysis presented along side it.
