ENGL 115 SC - Milton
This course is an in-depth study of the poetry and major prose of John Milton. At the heart of the course is “Paradise Lost,” the epic poem for which Milton is most famous and whose influence is perceptible across and beyond the Western literary canon. Alongside this we will consider Milton’s early lyric and late dramatic poetry and the sources that shaped it, as well as examples of his polemical prose writing on subjects ranging from divorce to the freedom of the press. Our discussions will explore Milton’s literary engagement with such issues as political tyranny, the status and rights of women, scientific innovation, human agency and free will, and the role of poetry itself in a rapidly changing world.
