Description and Table of Contents

Description

This reference tool identifies the specifics of Milton's reliance upon the Bible and provides a data base for that information. Milton students and scholars are easily enabled to appreciate the range and frequency of biblical books, chapters, and verses with which he underscored, enriched, and even qualified the sound and sense of particular poems and prose tracts. The index also allows easy comprehension of Milton's careful and discriminate applications of biblical references, realizing that as poet and essayist, he sought a balance between the strict theological doctrines of the Word and the more modern discipline of his own literary imagination.
