Reviews

“A major contribution to the critical understanding of early modern notions of climate and climate change. This is an extremely impressive work of scholarship, and one of the very best works on Milton in recent years. Thorough, creative, and compelling.” - Christopher Kendrick, Loyola University Chicago, author of Milton: A Study in Ideology and Form “A highly original, well researched, and impressively informative study full of bracing surprises and rich in fresh insights into Milton’s poetry, place, and times. Cox’s book embodies a thoroughgoing, detailed, and ultimately convincing insistence on the importance and interconnectedness for Milton (and beyond) of climate, meteorology, pneumatology, air, airs, winds, spirits, inspirations, exhalations, voices, and music.” - Dennis Danielson, University of British Columbia, author of Milton's Good God: A Study in Literary Theodicy
