This course aims at a historically informed understanding of one of English literature's most controversial poetic innovators, John Milton. We will not only read Milton's poetic masterpieces such as Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes, but we will also examine his political prose and his career in the Republican regime of Cromwell. A key goal will be to contextualize Milton's literary efforts by looking at other political writing of the period.
