We are very much looking forward to Tamzin Simmons' presentation this Friday, 4.10pm, (Dept. of Archaeology) 43 Woodland Road.
Individuals and Public Life: an Exploration of the Exile Prophecies of Dante's Inferno
I will provide a short overview of the political situation in Florence in Dante's time and talk briefly about his political ideas in the context of his other works before going on to consider three episodes in the Inferno where Dante's exile is foretold and examine the view of the relationship between individual and society that is presented in them.
