SoSe 15: HS-Postcolonial Literatures: Postcolonial Paradise
Cordula Lemke
Comments
John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost has only been one attempt at justifying "the ways of God to men". Yet, his rendering of Adam and Eve's passage through a labyrinthine Garden of Eden with an enigmatically laughing God in the background has challenged writers ever since. In this tutorial we shall trace the main topics of Milton's epic in postcolonial visions of paradise. We will focus on issues such as religion, ethics, language, gender, race and nation. Texts: John Milton, Paradise Lost [books 1-4;9]; Jem Poster, Rifling Paradise; Romesh Gunesekera, Heaven's Edge; Toni Morrison, Paradise. close
