ENG 1302 Literary Tradition II
A treatment of Dante's The Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost, establishing terms different from the classical epic by which to understand heroic action and its ends, within an imaginative cosmos shaped by Revelation and by Christian culture. The course concludes with a selection of English and American lyric poems from Renaissance to the present day which now continue the meditations on man and his place in the cosmos from within the lyric utterance of a single speaking voice.
