printer friendly pageENGLISH 251B: Paradise Lost
One of the most challenging poems in the English language, Paradise Lost imposes a near-calisthenic strain on the 'fit' readers it seeks to create. Its author, known in his prime more as a revolutionary than a poet, remains a provocative source for those thinking about the poetic vocation and its relation to (early) modernity. This course welcomes first-time readers of Milton's writing as well as those seeking to explore beyond Paradise Lost. All participants undertake a close reading of the long poem; graduate students delve further into recent interpretive essays and selections from Milton's prose.nnNote: Enrollment by department consent.
