Subject: [Milton-L] Renaissance course tips



Dear colleagues,

    This coming term I will teach a sophomore-level course on English
Renaissance Literature.  I have done so before, and have taught broader
courses (Literatures in English, beginnings to 1650 is our staple course
for majors, and it includes colonial literature and the New World) for
20 years.  So I'm no upstart here.  But as I approach this course, eager
to make it shine, I wonder if list members have particular suggestions
in the following areas:
1.  Texts (Anthologies; or has anyone had success using a group of
individual author texts?  If so, which?)
2.  Milton  (Have folks simply left out the big guy, or tried to fit in
some selections?  If so, which?)
3.  Newer voices (In my course on "Radical Voices" I teach writers such
as Elenore Davies and James Nayler, but these seem less important in the
long haul from, at least, Wyatt to Milton, Bacon to Behn).

    You can reply to me individually at durocher at stolaf.edu if you
prefer.  Many thanks to all for suggestions.

    Rich DuRocher
    St. Olaf College
