News from U.S. Fulbrighter Carla Baricz

On June 4th, in the course of the 2015 English Department Conference, entitled "Religion and Spirituality in Literature and the Arts", Carla Baricz presented a conference paper entitled "Satan's Romance: The Afterlives of L'Allegro and Il Penseroso in Milton's Paradise Lost". The paper treated John Milton’s reenvisioning of the genre of chivalric romance by tracing Milton’s engagement with the mode in his 1667 Paradise Lost back to its origins in his early poems. The paper attempted to read Milton’s poems Il Penseroso and L’Allegro proleptically – as little romances that Satan imitates in Paradise Lost. In doing so, the paper tried to show that Milton attributes the secular genre of romance, enjoyed for its own sake in the 1645 Poems, to the character of Satan, as he is presented in Paradise Lost. Carla argued that Milton is reimagining what a Satanic chivalric romance might look like by recycling his own youthful output and equating it with a “secular scripture” cut off from the divine plan.
