The Chambers Dante Collection allows us to experience Dante\u2019s poem as its readers encountered it through the centuries and to see how REMS students, working closely with literature, languages, and book illustration, can discover remarkable questions lurking in very old books.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDante in Real Time\u201d will take place at 12 p.m. in the Bopp Seminar Room on the third floor of the John Hay Library.
