A class mainly on Mammon -- in Milton and in Spenser -- though we don't get that far, because we pause for an explanation of The Faerie Queene and of allegory in general -- e.g. Edward Gorey's Innocence, on the Bicycle of Propriety, Carrying the Urn of Reputation Safely over the Abyss of Indiscretion. Hence some talk about the harmony of the virtues in Aristotle -- chastity vs. temperance. Matthew 6:24 quoted -- you cannot serve both God and Mammon.
