Скачать или смотреть Why Poetry Matters — John Milton and the Inner Vision of the Mind

John Milton is most famous for his epic poem "Paradise Lost," but he is also well known for his prose and other poetry written throughout his life. Sometimes involved in controversy and other times secluded in a hamlet composing verse and rhyme, Milton would become one of the greatest writers in English history. He lived in the age of Shakespeare and Francis Bacon, and these poetic and chaotic times provided Milton with the energy and perspective needed to change the course of history in English writing. I hope you enjoy these poems of Milton that were selected to be in the Harvard Classics. Below is a list of the topics discussed in this episode.

• Why poetry still matters in a distracted age.
• Milton’s Horton poems and the contrast between joy and melancholy.
• How Comus becomes a test of virtue, temptation, and youth.
• Milton’s Civil War poems and the cost of truth and liberty.
• His heartbreaking reflection on his deceased wife and blindness — “Day brought back my night.”
