Milton's Ovidian Eve presents a fresh and thorough exploration of
the classical allusions central to understanding Paradise Lost and
to understanding Eve, one of Milton's most complex characters.
Mandy Green demonstrates how Milton appropriates narrative
structures, verbal echoes, and literary strategies from the
Metamorphoses to create a subtle and evolving portrait of Eve. Each
chapter examines a different aspect of Eve's mythological
figurations. Green traces Eve's development through multiple
critical lenses, influenced by theological, ecocritical, and
feminist readings. Her analysis is gracefully situated between
existing Milton scholarship and close textual readings, and is
supported by learned references to seventeenth-century writing
about women, the allegorical tradition of Ovidian commentary,
hexameral literature, theological contexts and biblical
iconography. This detailed scholarly treatment of Eve
simultaneously illuminates our understanding of the character,
establishes Milton's reading of Ovid as central to his poetic
success, and provides a candid synthesis and reconciliation of
earlier interpretations.
