ENGL 216 Milton and Modernity 6 credits
John Milton wrote what is perhaps the most influential, and arguably greatest, poem in the English language. In this work (Paradise Lost), and indeed throughout his corpus, Milton engaged his literary predecessors extensively, yet he also anticipated modern concerns in striking ways. We will read his major works (“Lycidas,” the sonnets, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Regained), as well as prose selections, attending to his use of sources, and to the ways Milton presages debates over free speech and book banning, Darwinism, the multiverse, and AI.
