- The Seward Park Library is offering a 17-part weekly lecture series (online only) on Dante’s Divine Comedy. The series begins on April 27th at 6:00pm. They write: “Surely one of the most ambitious works of literature ever written, Dante’s Divine Comedy tells the story of how the author’s soul journeyed from the exile of a “dark wood” towards the light of its Native Land in God, in whose Image it was created. Steeped in the political, theological, and philosophical engagements of its time, this series of seventeen lectures seeks to assist the reader and the merely curious alike in understanding the world of Dante, so that we may better understand ourselves.”
