Milton and the Natural World overturns prevailing critical
assumptions by offering a fresh view of Paradise Lost, in which the
representation of Eden's plants and animals is shown to be fully
cognizant of the century's new, scientific natural history. The
fabulous lore of the old science is wittily debunked, and the poem
embraces new imaginative and symbolic possibilities for depicting
the natural world, suggested by the speculations of Milton's
scientific contemporaries including Robert Boyle, Thomas Browne and
John Evelyn. Karen Edwards argues that Milton has represented the
natural world in Paradise Lost, with its flowers and trees, insects
and beasts, as a text alive with meaning and worthy of close
reading.
