ENGL 312 - Milton

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
Paradise Lost (1667), John Milton’s great epic poem about the fall of humankind, is at the core of this course: we will study it from a number of approaches including its reinterpretation of classical epic and Biblical narrative; its influence on later writers, especially the Romantics; and its relation to the art of the Baroque. We will also read other works of Milton, including Lycidas, Paradise Regained and Samson Agonistes. British, Pre-1700.
