Description
Dante Lab is an online application that allows students and scholars of the Divine Comedy to read and compare up to four texts from the site’s database simultaneously; these texts include Giorgio Petrocchi’s critical edition, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1867 translation, and more than 75 commentaries from the fourteenth century through today. Dante Lab, which was funded by the Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College, went into development in 2012 and was first presented at Dartmouth’s Digital French and Italian Symposium in 2013. It re-imagines and updates the Dartmouth Dante Project, which was originally developed by Professor Robert Hollander between 1982 and 1988.
