ENGL 23046 - Shakespeare to Milton Focusing on Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Milton’s Paradise Lost, this course considers the seventeenth-century preoccupation with the question: Is fiction inescapably immoral because it seduces audiences with beautiful lies? We will explore how the writers explore this central question in light of larger political/cultural crises of the period, as well as within larger debates about gender, genre, and morality of the period. [Before 1800]
