Contents, comment

"We will attempt to climb the Everest of English literary texts." - Angela Stock about Paradise Lost in Winter Term 2010/11.
John Milton's Paradise Lost is a 17th century epic poem in blank verse.
For this seminar, you will need reading stamina and the willingness to embark on an epic journey through Heaven, Hell, and Paradise.
