Welcome to Classics Weekly, a virtual book club where we tackle a classic novel together and meet online every Thursday to discuss what we’ve read. Dante’s Inferno is the first part of his three-part epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Written in the 14th century and considered one of the world’s great works of literature, this is Dante’s journey through the nine circles of Hell, guided by the poet Virgil. Explore Dante's masterpiece over 10 sessions with the group, March 17-May 19.
Participants are responsible for finding their own copy of the book, either Inferno or The Divine Comedy.
Online registration is required. Registration closes a week prior to the first meeting. You will need a computer, smartphone or tablet and WiFi connection to participate. Please ensure your email address is entered correctly, as we will be sending you the Reading Schedule and link to participate shortly before the event.

Wiradjuri novelist Winch's award winning novel The Yield focuses on the ties between the land, the people and the language in post colonial Australia.
