ENGL 426 - Studies in Milton


Spring (3) Minear, Webster

John Milton’s career spanned a highly tumultuous period of English history that includes the Civil Wars, the period of the Commonwealth, and the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660. A poet and a polemicist, Milton was actively engaged in the many social, political and theological debates that shaped this period of English history. In this course we will study Milton’s major poetic and prose works, with emphasis given to the epic Paradise Lost and its various political, theological and literary contexts.
