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.
