[Milton-L] Renaissance course tips

[Jeremy Solomons]

I and others at Suffolk University have taught PL Books 1, 9 and 12 in our sophomore lit course at Suffolk, but it's broader;  it's Beowulf to Pope (omore or less).  That should be its title.

>1.  Texts (Anthologies; or has anyone had success using a group of

>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
