Title | The 17th Century |
Description | Modern poets from Eliot to Paul Muldoon and Susan Stewart have taken their starting inspiration from the literature of this period. Why this attraction? We will explore ideas of rebellion in love, religion and politics; recreated Eden; the Bible and its hold over poetry; scientific revolution and the recording of nature. At a time of intellectual and social ferment, we will see how literature was reinvented and what that moment still has to teach us. |
