The Milton Marathon, a One-Day Reading of “Paradise Lost”

Perhaps a little-known fact outside of early modern literature scholarship circles, Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost can be read in just one day. On December 2, a relatively mild and sunny day for this time of year in Southern California, Assistant Professors of English Literature Colleen Rosenfeld (Pomona) and Jacqueline Wernimont (Scripps) organized a one-day reading of the poem on the lawn north of Honnold-Mudd Library.
