Upending conventional scholarship on Milton and modernity, Lee
Morrissey recasts Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson
Agonistes as narrating three alternative responses to a world in
upheaval: adjustment, avoidance and antagonism. Through incisive
engagement with narrative, form, and genre, Morrissey shows how
each work, considered specifically as a fiction, grapples with the
vicissitudes of a modern world characterised more by paradoxes,
ambiguities, subversions and shifting temporalities than by any
rigid historical periodization. The interpretations made possible
by this book are as invaluable as they are counterintuitive,
opening new definitions and stimulating avenues of research for
Milton students and specialists, as well as for those working in
the broader field of early modern studies. Morrissey invites us to
rethink where Milton stands in relation to the greatest products of
modernity, and in particular to that most modern of genres, the
novel.
