Conversations on Dante is a series of podcast episodes from Dante at Leeds, at the University of Leeds. In each episode, we sit down with researchers and practitioners to discuss some of the work which is helping to shape our understanding of Dante, his context and works, and his place in the cultures of the world.
In this episode, hosted by Matthew Treherne, Amy Harris and Kimberly Campanello discuss twenty-first-century experimental translations of Dante into English. The conversation covers how writers have engaged with some of the innovative and challenging aspects of Dante's work, including Dante's approach to geography and specificity. Amy discusses her doctoral research on anglophone writers, and Kimberly shares insights from her current work versioning Dante.
