FA22 ENGL 423 Catharine Gray This course introduces you to one of the greatest—and most difficult—British writers: John Milton. We will explore his prodigious and ostentatiously learned output in the context of his own life and the historical turmoil of the mid-seventeenth century that transformed it. Milton was a blind seer, a regicidal prose-writer, and an inspired poet. He also wrote arguably the most ambitious English epic, one that aimed to explain the very origins of life itself. We will focus on the complex issues of religion, gender, genre, and politics that he engages, looking at his often contradictory responses to the ideas, literature, and events of his time. We will also trace his carefully crafted public image, thinking about Milton’s view of the role of public poetry and polemic within a revolutionary and war-torn context.
