Fantastic!! I had never heard of this train and MUST take it sometime!! And while I’ve read about the circumstances around his exile and death, I knew nothing about the- shall we say, comedy of his remains. I so appreciate this piece and will share with my grad school friends and Dante professor!
Yes, Dennis Patrick Slattery. He wrote "Day-to-Day Dante: Exploring Personal Myth Through the Divine Comedy" Can't say I've read that but he his class was pretty great!
