About

In the Milton and the meaning of freedom course offered by University of Cambridge , we will look at Milton’s place in the momentous historical events that shook England during his lifetime, with especial attention to his famous tract in defence of free speech, religious toleration, and accountable government, the Areopagitica.

Overview

What you will study

The Milton and the meaning of freedom course offered by University of Cambridge will also look closely at Paradise Lost itself, progressing through the poem from start to finish, while continuing to build our understanding of key aspects of its poetic form, its subject matter, and its didactic aims.

Emphasis will be placed throughout on looking attentively at the words Milton wrote, and students will be invited to participate each week in closely reading significant passages from his major works, especially Paradise Lost.  Weekly presentations and readings will provide historical and critical context, as well as initiating the close reading activities and group discussions to be pursued by the students.

Programme Structure

The program focuses on:

  •  Develop a critical approach to understanding Milton’s Paradise Lost.
  •  Assess the poem’s relationship to Milton’s wider thought and historical role.
  •  Evaluate the merits of some influential critical views of the poem.
