ENG 314-01 - Milton

4 credits (Spring)
In this course, we will study the poetry and prose of John Milton, with particular focus on one of the most famous works in the English language: Paradise Lost. We will trace how Milton’s epic poem mixes elements of classical Greco-Roman mythology and the Christian tradition to tell the story of Satan’s rebellion and the Fall. Examining the wider array of the poet’s writing, we will also discuss how Milton envisioned his career from his earliest days in college.
