Dante Today

Citings & Sightings of Dante's Works in Contemporary and Popular Culture

This experimental website, inspired by students of Arielle Saiber’sDante’s Divine Comedy” course, has been built to archive occurrences of Dante and his works in popular and contemporary culture of the twentieth century and beyond. The goals are twofold: 1) to provide a central access point for said references; and 2) to offer data that students and scholars of Dante can use to think about the Nachleben (“afterlife”) of Dante’s works in terms of reception theory, resonance, and cultural studies.
