Students in HON 440 Oxbridge Tutorial I and HON 460 Oxbridge Tutorial II are spending a full year in an Oxford-style tutorial studying Dante’s Divine Comedy. While there is much to love about this poem, Dante’s masterpiece also presents some significant problems for modern readers. Join us on this journey through Heaven, Hell, and the contemporary classroom as we try to find relevance today in a story that is centuries old.
