Milton, Drama, and Greek Texts (Hardcover)

This collection reconsiders Milton's engagement with Greek texts,
with particular attention to the theological and theatrical
meanings attached to Greek in the early modern period. Responding
to new scholarship on early modern reactions to Greek authors -
especially Euripides and Homer, Milton's particular favourites -
the collection emphasizes the associations of Greek with both
Protestantism and the origins of tragedy, two arenas frequently in
tension, but crucially linked in Milton's literary imagination. The
contributions explore a range of works spanning the whole of
Milton's career, from the early masque Comus, through the political
and religious prose, to the 1671 closet drama, Samson Agonistes.
They consider the ways in which the authority and controversy
attached to Greek authors framed Milton's approaches to their
texts. Looking at both the texts and their interpretative
traditions together, this book suggests that Greek authors shaped
Milton's attitudes to drama in ways even more extensive and
surprising than we have yet recognized. This book was originally
published as a special issue of The Seventeenth Century.
