Volume

v. 44 ISBN 9780822942412

Description

The eleven essays in this volume fall into four distinct areas. Three studies - by Stanley Fish, Barbara K. Lewalski, and Joseph Wittreich - reassess the significance and applicability of Milton's writings to the present day. Essays on Paradise Lost break new ground concerning Milton's allusions to Galileo and the telescope, the myth of Pandora and its integration into the epic, and the significance of Deism to understanding the theology of the work. Innovative essays approach Comus from complementary perspectives, examining the genre of the work, its multiple modes of figuration, and the dynamic interaction of its characters. Two studies focusing on Milton's perspectives on Ireland conclude this edition of the prestigious series.

Volume

v. 45 ISBN 9780822942672

Description

Published annually by Duquesne University Press as an important forum for Milton scholarship and criticism, "Milton Studies" focuses on various aspects of John Milton's life and writing, including biography; literary history; Milton's work in its literary, intellectual, political, or cultural contexts; Milton's influence on or relationship to other writers; and the history of critical response to his work. The eight essays in this volume offer a variety of fresh subjects and cutting-edge approaches to Milton's prose and poetry. The eight essays in this volume are evenly divided between the poetry and prose of Milton. Two of the essays discuss major sonnets, and two other essays on poetry engage Paradise Lost and Paradise Regain'd, respectively. The essays on prose are brilliantly revisionist: one, for example, analyzes Aeropagitica by citing the ironic relationship of truth and the grotesque. Another examines the rhetorical techniques Milton employs for the capable though small audience at which he aims Eikonoklates. The third discusses how and why Milton embeds autobiographies in the midst of political tracts, and the final essay studies an often overlooked work, the Art of Logic, and its value in illuminating selected poetry and prose of Milton. Hardcover is un-jacketed.

Volume

v. 46 ISBN 9780822942894

Description

Published annually by Duquesne University Press as an important forum for Milton scholarship and criticism, Milton Studies focuses on various aspects of John Milton's life and writing, including biography; literary history; Milton's work in its literary, intellectual, political, or cultural contexts; Milton's influence on or relationship to other writers; and the history of critical response to his work. The eight essays in this volume offer a variety of fresh subjects and cutting-edge approaches to Milton's prose and poetry. Nine essays focus on Paradise Lost, Samson Agonistes, and selected major prose works such as Areopagitica and The Second Defense of The English People. The essays on Samson Agonistes are among the most revolutionary ever composed: the first interprets the protagonist in the context of royalist politics; the second reevaluates Milton's poem in light of present-day anxiety over terrorism and suicide bombers. One essay on Paradise Lost examines the theme of obedience in the epic poem and in Milton's treatise Of Education. A second uses the context of martyrology to investigate Adam's disobedience in partaking of the forbidden fruit and his willingness to die. A third essay cites evidence of Milton's acute awareness of seventeenth-century disputes concerning the structure of the universe, while a fourth essay identifies a baroque sensibility in rhythms of the blank verse. The final essay on Paradise Lost discerns how Milton accommodates science and philosophy in his biblical epic. Hardcover is un-jacketed.

Volume

v. 48 ISBN 9780822943204

Description

Published annually by Duquesne University Press as an important forum for Milton scholarship and criticism, Milton Studies focuses on various aspects of John Milton's life and writing, including biography; literary history; Milton's work in its literary, intellectual, political, or cultural contexts; Milton's influence on or relationship to other writers; and the history of critical response to his work. The eight essays in this volume offer a variety of fresh subjects and cutting-edge approaches to Milton's prose and poetry. Milton Studies 48 is a special issue that celebrates the quatercentenary of Milton's birth. The ten essays in this volume emphasize historicism, the predominant critical approach used in the last three decades to explicate Milton's writings. The historicist approach has generated a remarkable variety of perspectives on Milton's prose and poetry, and has guided the study of Milton's writings into areas previously unknown or unacknowledged. The introductory essay by Sharon Achinstein deals with models of inquiry in the past, reevaluates the concept of "history," and explains how more recent varieties of historical investigation develop parallels between the past and present. Additional essays provide intertextual analysis of Milton's writings and those of his contemporaries; illuminate Milton's biography by focusing on his interaction with his two nephews; debate Milton's status as an early modern nationalist or a conflicted patriot; explain Milton's divided views of the role of Parliament in the 1640s; and focus on the interplay of Milton's so-called companion poems (Samson Agonistes and Paradise Regained), published in the same volume in 1671. The concluding essay is a remarkable tour de force by Annabel Patterson, whose historicist approach has been a catalyst for many studies. In this essay, however, Patterson, almost as if to redress an imbalance in our present-day historicist engagement with Milton, approaches his sonnets humanistically, as aesthetic and literary artifacts rather than as religiopolitical texts.

Description

Published annually by Duquesne University Press as an important forum for Milton scholarship and criticism, Milton Studies focuses on various aspects of John Milton's life and writing, including biography; literary history; Milton's work in its literary, intellectual, political, or cultural contexts; Milton's influence on or relationship to other writers; and the history of critical response to his work. The eight essays in this volume offer a variety of fresh subjects and cutting-edge approaches to Milton's prose and poetry. The eight essays in Milton Studies 50 offer profound insights into Milton's poems, ranging from Comus and Lycidas, to Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes. One essay offers an entirely new direction for Milton scholarship, examining how he may have influenced Seventh-day Adventism. The initial essay tracks the many cultural voices that constitute a network in which the Lady of Comus is situated, and her character is astutely analyzed. The second entry traces the gradual emergence of a voice in Lycidas, which becomes that of a so-called reader-speaker, who develops a unique perspective on the many debating and competing voices in this elegy. The third essay breaks new ground on the topic of chaos in Milton's Paradise Lost, offering a bold and innovative reading of this often-interpreted phenomenon. The fourth essay is a revolutionary study of alternative masculinities in Paradise Lost, with an emphasis on systems of sex and gender embedded in the epic. The fifth essay focuses on Milton's adaptation of the beatitudes from Matthew's Gospel, notably in Eve's lyric to Adam in Book IV of Paradise Lost. The sixth essay examines the myth of Persephone and its association with flowers in the classical tradition, shedding new light on the multifarious implications of Milton's similes. The seventh essay studies the phenomenon of oaths and vows-making and breaking them-in Samson Agonistes. The final entry dwells on evidence that Milton may have affected Ellen Gould White, prophetess of Seventh-day Adventism, and American theologians in general. Hardcover is un-jacketed.
