Posted 3/4/26
These books are REQUIRED.
Please note: while you are welcome to source these materials secondhand, please ensure your student has the exact copy of the literature books and lit guides. When students use books by different editions or publishers, it can complicate our class time as page numbers and translation can vary.

Note: Due to the length and depth of Dante's Inferno, we have chosen not to study it in class with our limited class time. However, it is a critical piece of medieval literature. Students are strongly recommended to go through Dante's Inferno on their own at home using the Memoria Press study guide throughout the course of the entire school year.
