In 1967 the world of Milton studies was divided into two armed
camps, one proclaiming that Milton was of the devil's party, the
other proclaiming that the poet's sympathies are obviously with God
and the angels loyal to him. The achievement of Stanley Fish's
Surprised by Sin was to reconcile the two camps by subsuming their
claims in a single overarching thesis: Paradise Lost is a poem
about how its readers came to be the way they are and therefore the
fact of their divided responses makes perfect sense. Thirty years
later the issues raised in Surprised by Sin continue to set the
agenda and drive debate.
