    Dear Professor Rogers,

    It has been 39 years since I took an undergraduate course in Milton at Temple and almost 37 years since I took Edward Taylor’s course as a graduate student at Columbia. Can you please recommend what are considered to be the “must read” scholarly books on Milton? I have come back to Milton from way around the barn: i.e., the poetry of Frost. Richard Poirier’s book is probably the best critical study I’ve read on any poet. Is there an equivalent of “The Work of Knowing” for Milton?

    I have not yet watched your online course, but I will start this weekend. I have watched and enjoyed Professor Hammer’s course on Modern Poetry several times.

    Thanks,

    Mike Weinstein

    Dear Professor Rogers; I have been searching for a line I believe I read in Paradise Lost in which Satan wishes there were no free will.
    Can you help me find it?
    I have a Ph.d. in English literature and wanted to use this reference in a new novel but I cannot find it. I would be so grateful for your help.
    All the best, Kim
