The Romantic Legacy of Paradise Lost offers a new critical insight
into the relationship between Milton and the Romantic poets.
Beginning with a discussion of the role that seventeenth and
eighteenth-century writers like Dryden, Johnson and Burke played in
formulating the political and spiritual mythology that grew up
around Milton, Shears devotes a chapter to each of the major
Romantic poets, contextualizing their 'misreadings' of Milton
within a range of historical, aesthetic, and theoretical contexts
and discourses. By tackling the vexed issue of whether Paradise
Lost by its nature makes available and encourages alternate
readings or whether misreadings are imposed on the poem from
without, Shears argues that the Romantic inclination towards
fragmentation and a polysemous aesthetic leads to disrupted
readings of Paradise Lost that obscure the theme, or warp the
'grain', of the poem. Shears concludes by examining the ways in
which the legacy of Romantic misreading continues to shape critical
responses to Milton's epic.
