Paradise Lost and the Cosmological Revolution (Hardcover)

This volume brings John Milton's Paradise Lost into dialogue with
the challenges of cosmology and the world of Galileo, whom Milton
met and admired: a universe encompassing space travel, an earth
that participates vibrantly in the cosmic dance, and stars that are
'world[s] / Of destined habitation'. Milton's bold depiction of our
universe as merely a small part of a larger multiverse allows the
removal of hell from the center of the earth to a location in the
primordial abyss. In this wide-ranging work, Dennis Danielson
lucidly unfolds early modern cosmological debates, engaging not
only Galileo but also Copernicus, Tycho, Kepler, and the English
Copernicans, thus placing Milton at a rich crossroads of epic
poetry and the history of science.
