How To Avoid The Nine Circles of Email Hell

October 24, 2017 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

“Happy (almost!) Halloween! I love October — it’s definitely the best month of the fall season. All the leaves are just starting to turn colors, the weather’s perfect for a pumpkin spice latte (judge away, those things are delicious), and every marketing blog puts out their Halloween-related email advice. I figured I’d join in with today’s post on the nine circles of email hell (modeled after Dante’s Inferno), what will get you there, and what will keep you out. Pull out your high school literature knowledge and let’s jump right in!” [. . .]    — Skyler Holobach, Pardot, October 23, 2015.

Trovato canto inedito: “Quelli che se la sono cercata”

October 7, 2016 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

canto-inedito-nuovo-girone-lercio“ROMA – Questa è la prima terzina di un canto dell’Inferno di Dante, rimasto nascosto fino ad oggi e tornato alla luce dopo settecento anni, in cui il poeta racconta di un girone inedito, dedicato a ‘Coloro che se la son cercata.’ L’autore del sensazionale ritrovamento è Benigno Lucarelli, professore di Letteratura Italiana all’Università di Catanzaro, che ha annunciato la scoperta con un articolo su Il Volgare, settimanale specializzato in letteratura medievale e turpiloqui. ‘Il canto risulta incredibilmente attuale – ha dichiarato il professore – specie per il fatto che il Sommo Poeta sembri voler accontentate ipocriti e maldicenti inserendo gli sventurati in un girone dell’Inferno, tanto che alcuni di voi potrebbero pensare che in realtà l’ho scritto io, ieri sera, dopo aver preso qualche droga di troppo. Ma ovviamente non è così. No, davvero.'” —“Divina Commedia. Trovato canto inedito dell’Inferno: il girone di ‘Quelli che se la sono cercata’,” Lercio.it
