ENGL 309 - Paradise Lost: Milton, Blake, Shelley

3 HU, WR
Second Semester. In Milton’s great poem about creation, temptation and fall, we witness a tragic world of mythic struggle. Paradise Lost profoundly affected two later Romantic writers, William Blake (The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Songs of Innocence and Experience, and The Book of Job) and Mary Shelley (Frankenstein). Our concerns: the texts themselves, their interrelationships, and the way they represent and affect the concerns of their times—power, status, nature, gender, love and difference. British, Pre-1700.
