Destabilizing Milton challenges the widely accepted view of Milton
as a poet of absolute, unquestioning certainty. In Paradise Lost ,
Milton confronts the failure of the Revolution by creating a poem
that refuses to grant the reader any interpretive stability or
certainty. Doubts can no longer be contained and concepts once
marked by a 'fundamental immobility' now seem unstable at best.
Paradise Regained and Samson Agonistes equally reflect Milton's
deep ambivalences after the collapse of the Republic. Far from
confirming his earlier ideals, in his later poetry, Milton subjects
his culture's most cherished beliefs, such as the goodness of God,
to withering scrutiny, while refusing the comfort of orthodox
answers.
