Genesis 1-3
The story of the earth’s creation in “Genesis” is useful to read when reading books 7-8 of Paradise Lost. Google “genesis 1-3” and read the biblical version. It won’t take long. When you do, note the break in the story telling: the story is told twice. See the break displayed here.
PL Book VI, 386-97
News flash
The rule for formatting titles is, “if the work is a full-length work, italicize the title; it the work is a piece of a larger whole, place the title in quotation marks.” So even though Milton’s great epic is a poem, the title should be italicized, not placed in quotation marks.
Thus, Paradise Lost.

Milton Spring 2013
During the Spring 2013 semester, 30 participants in Litt 3106 will be reading and discussing a great deal of John Milton’s poetry. We will bump into some of his prose, but it is his verse that we will concentrate on.
Milton’s verse is wonderful, full of allusive meanings and subtle beauty. We will be reading quite a bit aloud. I hope you enjoy it.
