Great Books: Paradise Lost, by John Milton

Heaven and Hell. Good and Evil. Angels and Demons. As a 17th-century English poet, Milton touches on this in a poem of epic scale. Presenter Anthony Funari will tell what this work means to him and explain why you should read (reread) it. No reservations or homework required.

This presentation, in the new JCCC CoLab, kicks off the fall 2016 Great Books Mini-Lecture Series, which is designed to introduce you to watershed texts that have changed their readers’ views of the world. It’s a series of short talks on great books.

The Great Books series is sponsored by the JCCC English/Journalism Common Read program.
