2. Dante, Poeta Del Deseo. Purgatorio
Purgatorio
A lucid, page-by-page meditation on the middle canticle that reads the souls’ ascent as a pedagogy of desire: purification of disordered loves into a rightly ordered longing for the divine. Combining close readings of the poem’s language, historical and theological context, and pastoral insight, it traces how penitence, prayer, and symbolic encounters on the terraces of purgation transform hope, freedom, and charity. By highlighting dramatic meetings and moral conversions, the commentary shows how human longing is redirected from lesser goods toward God and invites readers to experience the poem as a spiritual itinerary for personal renewal.
