John Milton s major poems have long provoked wide-ranging judgments
about the purposes of his biblical engagement. In this elegant and
insightful study, Phillip J. Donnelly transforms our common
perceptions about Milton s writing. He challenges the traditional
assumption that the poet shared our modern view that reason is a
capacity whose purpose is to control nature. Instead, Milton s
conception of reason - both human and divine - is bound up with a
poetic sense of difference, a capacity for being faithful to a
goodness and beauty that survives the effects of human frailty in
the fall. Providing fresh new readings of Paradise Lost, Paradise
Regained and Samson Agonistes, Donnelly gives us important new
perspectives on Milton s aesthetics, theology and politics.
