2025 Dante's The Divine Comedy Reading Schedule

The map of our journey.

Welcome to 2025 Dante Read-Along Schedule. You can find the Main Page here. Welcome pack here. Don’t forget that you can subscribe to this read-along if you want to join it by Managing Your Subscriptions, or if you want to opt-out you can also switch it off so you will receive only my regular essays on topics other than Dante.

We’re reading two cantos per week, which amounts to roughly 7 pages weekly (just one page a day), culminating in Paradiso on December 25, 2025. Dante meticulously crafted his poem with mathematical symmetry, and I couldn’t help but feel inspired by how perfectly the dates of our read-along align—the 25th of December in the year 2025!

I’ll email you a detailed guide to this magnificent masterpiece every Thursday and Sunday.

If you don’t see any emails by the end of the day, please check your Promotions, Social, or Spam folders to ensure they haven’t been filtered.
