This showcased event has concluded.
Over the centuries, the female figures in the Commedia, with the exception of Beatrice, have often been represented as marginal to the role of the male figures. In this discussion, Professor Diana Glenn discusses how Dante removes women from the margins and grants them singular agency and voice.
Through its nuanced portrayal of female characters, the Commedia incorporates traditional and contemporary images of women who speak of their personal lives, with some incorporating narratives of historical specificity. The characters include pagan, biblical, historical, literary and contemporary figures.
Professor Diana Glenn is currently National Head of the School of Arts at the Australian Catholic University.
