Description
An intensive reading of John Milton’s great epic Paradise Lost and two works that adapt it in imaginative ways, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. The modern and Romantic texts will throw light back on Milton’s classic and – I hope – generate new insights. Students’ individual research interests will influence the discussion and the term paper.
This section of English 190 satisfies the pre-1800 requirement for the English major.
