Su questo libro

Descrizione del libro

Phillip J. Donnelly transforms our common perceptions about Milton's writing, challenging the traditional assumption that the poet shared our modern view that reason is a capacity whose purpose is to control nature. Through new readings of Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained and Samson Agonistes, this book provides fresh perspectives on Milton's aesthetics, theology and politics.
