John Milton's poetry and prose are central to our understanding of
the aesthetic, political and religious upheavals of early modern
England. Innovative recent scholarship, however, continues to
expand the range of contexts through which we read Milton beyond
Christian Europe, unearthing the vitality and resonance of the
Miltonic text within religious and political debates across
borders, through time and in multiple languages. The Islamic world
has begun to receive deserved recognition as one such global site
of this cultural energy. The publication of complete translations
of Paradise Lost into Arabic has stimulated fresh critical
explorations from a multiplicity of perspectives: historicist,
comparative and theological. Attention to spatially and religiously
diverse influences and reception contexts offers new avenues of
approach into masterpieces including Paradise Lost, Paradise
Regained and Areopagitica, as well as into the cultural forces
these texts represent, reimagine and contest. By exploring how
Milton, Islam and the Middle East address and implicate one
another, this collection asks how, why and where Milton matters.
This book was originally published as a special issue of English
Studies.
Shakespeare and the Future of Theory convenes internationally
renowned Shakespeare scholars, and scholars of the Early Modern
period, and presents, discusses, and evaluates the most recent
research and information concerning the future of theory in
relation to Shakespeare's corpus. Original in its aim and scope,
the book argues for the critical importance of thinking Shakespeare
now, and provides extensive reflections and profound insights into
the dialogues between Shakespeare and Theory. Contributions explore
Shakespeare through the lens of design theory, queer theory,
psychoanalysis, Derrida and Foucault, amongst others, and offer an
innovative interdisciplinary analysis of Shakespeare's work. This
book was originally published as two special issues of English
Studies.
