with Dr. Alison Chapman, Professor and Chair of English, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Milton is mostly known today for his epic Paradise Lost, a poem he curiously almost didn’t survive to finish. In the middle of composition, Milton came within a hair’s breadth of being hanged, drawn, and quartered. Join us for a special session featuring visiting scholar Dr. Alison Chapman, and hear about how one of the greatest poems in the English language almost didn’t get written at all.
