Even in a hostile political climate, Paradise Lost was almost immediately recognized as a classic, and one fate of a classic is to be rewritten, both by admirers and by antagonists. In this seminar, we will read Paradise Lost alongside works of 20th century fantasy and science fiction which rethink both Milton's text and its source.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Literature/21L-705Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmFuller, Mary2008-08-22T04:50:14-04:0021L.705SP.512en-USLiteratureAmerican Literature (United States)discussionseminar courseGenesisBibleBiblical analysisWilliam BlakeHis Dark MaterialsThe Golden CompassPhilip Pullmanliterary analysisliterary criticismreligious poetryepic poetrypoetrymedieval literatureRenaissance literatureParadise LostJohn MiltonSpecial ProgramsMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
