You’re invited to observe Daniel Moss, recipient of the Altshuler Distinguished Teacher Award, for a session of ENGL 4330 – Spenser (and Milton).

This course introduces students to the poetry of Edmund Spenser and John Milton, with primary emphasis on Spenser’s The Faerie Queene. Through close study of allegory, biblical and classical intertexts, and poetic form, students explore early modern literary imagination while engaging creatively through papers, a Virtual Museum project, and student-led discussions.

This is an Undergraduate Level class with approximately 30 students.

The session will focus on John Milton’s masque Comus, examining its portrayal of temptation and virtue, as well as its allegorical treatment of chastity. A student will also introduce the Renaissance genre of the masque to frame the discussion.

The instructor will introduce you and provide context for the session.

Please note that you will receive an Outlook calendar invite with the class location after registering. Due to the limited number of sessions available, faculty will only be allowed to register for two Teaching Award Winner Observations per term.
