Description: This graduate seminar introduces students to a selection of major works of poetry by John Milton as well as works by later English Romantic writers such as Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge, and Shelly that respond to Milton’s legacy. It will serve students as a survey of crucial English writers from the early modern and Romantic periods as well as an occasion to study and theorize how both Milton and Romantic poets think about literary influence as well as poetry’s connections to liberty, ecology, imagination, ethics, political economy, beauty and the sublime.
