Vertical reading of Dante’s Commedia is an exegetic method based on conjoined analysis of the same-numbered cantos from the three canticles. The book has its origin in a series of thirty-three public lectures held in Trinity College, the University of Cambridge in 2012–2016 by leading contemporary Dante scholars. Unlike the first and the second volumes of the book, the third one unites the essays that make the case for avowedly theological readings of the poem.
