Narrative Poetry from Milton to Wordsworth

The course deals with a substantial selection from John Milton's Paradise Lost and how later poetic works (Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock and Essay on Man, William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, and William Wordsworth's The Prelude) relate thematically and stylistically to Milton's work, and how this reflects the development of narrative poetry as a genre. The selected secondary sources deal with thematic and/or stylistic elements in the individual works, or thematic and/or stylistic links between Milton's poem and one or several of the later poems.
