John Milton's poetry and prose are central to our understanding of
the aesthetic, political and religious upheavals of early modern
England. Innovative recent scholarship, however, continues to
expand the range of contexts through which we read Milton beyond
Christian Europe, unearthing the vitality and resonance of the
Miltonic text within religious and political debates across
borders, through time and in multiple languages. The Islamic world
has begun to receive deserved recognition as one such global site
of this cultural energy. The publication of complete translations
of Paradise Lost into Arabic has stimulated fresh critical
explorations from a multiplicity of perspectives: historicist,
comparative and theological. Attention to spatially and religiously
diverse influences and reception contexts offers new avenues of
approach into masterpieces including Paradise Lost, Paradise
Regained and Areopagitica, as well as into the cultural forces
these texts represent, reimagine and contest. By exploring how
Milton, Islam and the Middle East address and implicate one
another, this collection asks how, why and where Milton matters.
This book was originally published as a special issue of English
Studies.
