This study describes a variety of ways of thinking about place in
the Renaissance and in Paradise Lost. Despite coming from different
perspectives, they have in common the idea that the difficulty of
the relationship of reciprocity that poetic subjects often expect
from their environment destabilizes those subjects' understanding,
not only of environment, but of themselves.
The study explores destabilization as it affects aspects of the
poem from Adam's sense of the landscape of Eden and the meaning of
the Fall itself, to the relationship the ambiguous landscapes of
Paradise Lost create between Adam and Eve, the poet and the reader;
all of whom are struggling to make sense of the same
problematically described places.
To a surprisingly large extent, the description of prelapsarian
Eden and the events that go on within it have in common a failed
attempt to understand the nature of the surroundings. In observing
the centrality and difficultly of this poetic discourse of place,
the problem of place is found at the very heart of the Fall.
