Class Details

The course will consist primarily of a close reading of “Paradise Lost,” though we will look at few of Milton’s earlier works. Readings will include “Comus,” “Lycidas,” and “Paradise Lost,” some sonnets, and some passages from “Areopagitica.” We will give particular attention to the poem’s densely organized language, and the ethical and philosophical dilemmas that confront Satan and the fallen.
