Global Milton and Visual Art showcases the aesthetic appropriation
and reinterpretation of the works and legend of the early modern
English poet and politician John Milton in diverse eras, regions,
and media: book illustrations, cinema, digital reworkings,
monuments, painting, sculpture, shieldry, and stained glass. It
innovates an inclusive approach to Milton's literary art,
especially his masterpiece Paradise Lost, in global contemporary
aesthetics via intertextual and interdisciplinary relations. The
fifteen purposefully-brief chapters, 103 illustrations, and 64
supplemental web-images reflect the great richness of the topics
and the diverse experiences and expertise of the contributors. Part
I: Panoramas, provides overviews and key contexts; Part II: Cameos
offers different perspectives of the varied afterlives of the most
widely-circulating illustrations of Paradise Lost, those by Gustave
Dore; Part III: Textual Close-ups focuses on a rich variety of book
illustrations, from centuries-old elite engravings to a
twenty-first century graphic novel; and Part IV: A Prospect beyond
Books, explores visual media outside of books that manifest
powerful connections, direct and indirect, with Milton's works and
legend.
