| Synopsis: |
Milton Now: Alternative Approaches and Contexts offers eleven new essays engaging topics, contexts and approaches rarely broached in the study of this author. Taking their inspiration from the twenty-fifth anniversary of the influential collection, Re-membering Milton: Essays on the Texts and Traditions, these essays deploy a wide array of methodologies, including historicist, neo-Marxist, psychoanalytic, formalist, feminist and queer. They explore an even wider range of topics, including secularism, time, poetics, mathematics, class, incarceration, women writers, libertinism, sexuality, slavery, race, and cross-dressing. |
