[Milton-L] Recitations of PL

[Jameela Lares]

Marlene,

How sad that there is no funding!  I don't know what kind of relationship professors have with students in Copenhagen, but I always host a reading at my home.

Subject Re: [Milton-L] Recitations of PL


    I am filled with awe and envy when I read about commitment to Paradise Lost throughout the world. In September 2007 I organised a full-text reading at Copenhagen University. It was a great success, with the participation not only of students and academic staff but of a number of readers from outside the university. Now, in this year when we should be celebrating Milton, such an event seems impossible. The English department has been relegated to being a section of an Institute of modern languages and English literature has almost been starved out of existence. No-one in authority cares a whit about Milton - or Shakespeare, for that matter, or whatever we recognise as the soul of our subject. Those few of us left who care about literature pre-1900 are demoralised to the point of paralysis, and there would now be no support for Milton readings or symposiums.
         Is this happening elsewhere?

Aren't there legendary accounts of Harold Bloom reciting PL from memory?
There's a reference to this in _Historicizing Theory_ by Marc Redfield,
footnote 17 on p. 230:
