John Milton - Yale University Lecture Part 1

[08874]

It would be perfect if there is subtitle as I am not a native speaker.

Milton's power is not a prevailing theme or concept to know before coming engaging PL. The power of the poet is introduced in several sonnets. Christ's Nativity, but more so in Sonnet VIII, we see Milton's view on the power of the poet and subsequently his own. I didn't like this video at all. The speaker knows the subject, but is not focusing on anything important, or relevant. Milton's perception of his own Power, Are you serious?

Definitely informative if you're an undergrad, but I'm not at all sure that "power" is a key into Milton's epic that most students can use. (Having just spent 5 years writing a guidebook to the damned thing!)
