Böcker av Thomas N. Corns

A New Companion to Milton builds on the critically-acclaimed original, bringing alive the diverse and controversial world of contemporary Milton studies while reflecting the very latest advances in research in the field.* Comprises 36 powerful readings of Milton's texts and the contexts in which they were created, each written by a leading scholar* Retains 28 of the award-winning essays from the first edition, revised and updated to reflect the most recent research* Contains a new section exploring Milton's global impact, in China, India, Japan, Korea, in Spanish speaking American and the Arab-speaking world* Includes eight completely new full-length essays, each of which engages closely with Milton's poetic oeuvre, and a new chronology which sets Milton's life and work in the context of his age* Explores literary production and cultural ideologies, issues of politics, gender and religion, individual Milton texts, and responses to Milton over time

This text seeks to restore "Paradise Lost" to its original cultural context in order that its relevance to a 20th-century audience can be realized. The study aims to demonstrate how ideologies may, in high art, survive their political eclipse.
