Milton (ENGL 220)
In this second lecture on "Lycidas," moments of intrusion and revelation are closely examined. Saint Peters protracted sermon is connected with the wider context of Puritan practices and controversies. The poems tendency to suggest pairs and substitutions is duly noted. Finally, its conclusion is read as a triumphant moment in the young Miltons poetry, at which point he parts with the claims of ill-preparedness and little experience that dominated the early poems and assumes instead a prophetic voice for himself akin to Isaiahs.
