Lecture Details

Milton (ENGL 220)

Books Eleven and Twelve of Paradise Lost and their radical departure from the poems previous style are discussed. The transformation of Miltons famously sonorous verse into a more didactic mode is closely documented, and the poems increasing emphasis on visual instruction is underscored in a study of the Archangel Michaels lesson on the history of the post-fallen world. Considerable time is devoted to both a consideration of Miltons late politics and Book Elevens depiction of the destruction of paradise.
