Ok... So in Medieval Lit, we just finished Lewis's Discarded Image, and Milton is mentioned a few times. As I read through these three books, I did notice how Milton would go too far and all his views do not match what I've been taught. Thanks to Lewis I can turn to The Model. The Model was used by medieval authors to harmonize every book they had. So pagan philosophers were harmonized with Christian theologians. This would explain why Milton (a Christian author) might not match what we've been taught. Also I just LOVE when classes come together. I am excited to see more elements of the Model in Milton's work!
P.S. I commented on Caleb's!
