Don't abandon hope...

Interactive Dante is here! The University of Texas at Austin has a cool introductory site on the Divine Comedy, filled with beautiful images and straightforward navigation through the sources and allusions and influences and everything else that's going in that text.



This is exactly what we need for Joyces's Ulysses: everyone would read it if it was ridiculously well-annotated with a cool interactive flash website. I'm just sure of it...

Darn Blogger's fixed width comment columns - what's the end of the address?? I can see it up to Cat/0/
- is that the beginning of an N?

That's a great idea - someone must be cooking up something like that for Ulysses. I expect Senator Norris has someone working on it already...
