Editor: Peter C. Herman. Modern Languages Association, Pages: xii & 232 pp. Published: 2012
"This is an exemplary anthology of essays, all of them anchored in pedagogical concerns."
Joseph Wittreich
This second edition of Approaches to Teaching Milton’s Paradise Lost addresses Milton in the light of the digital age, new critical approaches to his poem, and his continued presence in contemporary culture. It aims to help instructors enliven the teaching of Paradise Lost and address the challenges presented to students by the poem—the early modern syntax and vocabulary, the political and theological contexts, and the abounding classical references.
