maintained by Athabasca University; Aurora began as a Canadian Literary Journal over 25 years ago. Publication of the print edition ceased in 1991, but Athabasca University began hosting an open-access online version. At the time of this review, the site included archived issues from 1987-2010. The site is easy to navigate and search, but given the comparative smallness of the archive users might prefer to browse through the tables of content of each issue.
Choice Outstanding site; A model for scholarly Web sites that seek to democratize the availability of academic information, the DDP is a perfect union of contemporary technology and hardcore, "old school" academic rigor that provides real assistance to classicists, historians, linguists, and lovers of Dante the world over.
Project director and site editor Guy Raffa (Univ. of Texas, Austin) provides the sort of multimedia experience that those in the digital humanities strive for. This site successfully combines striking visual art, expert commentary, audio recordings of significant verses, and targeted study questions. Following the structure of the Divine Comedy, Danteworlds (DW) offers a geography of the Commedia and combines the visual representations of Sandro Botticelli, William Blake, Gustave Doré, and others with insightful commentary taken from Raffa's Dante books.
