[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The language in Chaucer is difficult for high school students and he can be bawdy. Milton is awesome, but "reign in hell" aspects of it are not suitable for very Christian parents and the Christianity aspects are not really suitable for Jewish parents. [/quote] And Donne is either bawdy or religious. Not to mention complicated. "Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you as yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend" is not exactly accessible to the typical ninth-grader. However, here is a study guide on it: http://www.shmoop.com/batter-my-heart-holy-sonnet-14/section-1-lines-1-6-summary.html so obviously it is being taught, by somebody, in schools nowadays. [/quote]
