Dante’s Divine “Comedy”
We have always referred to Dante’s poem as “divine” reading it as a religious poem that equals
the Bible. I would like to propose a more earthly version where the emphasis is on “comedy” and
what is “divine” is Dante’s comic or ironic poetry in Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.

Literature at the University of Alberta
