Overview
Published annually by Duquesne University Press as an important forum for Milton scholarship and criticism, Milton Studies focuses on various aspects of John Miltons life and writing, including biography; literary history; Miltons work in its literary, intellectual, political, or cultural contexts; Miltons influence on or relationship to other writers; and the history of critical response to his work. Milton Studies 57 presents 11 fresh and arresting essays on the timely issues of reading and misreading, language and sound, and intellectual and literary history. Contributors offer new perspectives on Robert Gravess notorious Wife to Mr. Milton; on Miltons uses of Jewish phylacteries to show anxiety about Protestant bibliophilia; on the radical poetics of the exaltation of the Son in Paradise Lost; on Miltons revisions of Aristotelian temporality; on the impact of seventeenth century medicine on Miltons animist materialist Creation; on the role of solitude and difference within Miltonic marriage; on Miltons passionate and lifelong delight in Greek; on Miltonic staging of the pervasiveness of linguistic purism; on the production and material basis of satanic acoustics in Paradise Lost; on how the anxiety of belatedness informs Drydens State of Innocence; and on Isaac Asimovs mid-twentieth-century Foundation series in conversation with Paradise Lost. Volume 57 includes 11 new essays by Paul Stevens, Raphael Magarik, Andrew S. Brown, Ayelet Langer, Charlotte Nicholls, Christopher Koester, John K. Hale, Alexandra Reider, Katherine Cox, Diana Trevino Benet, and Ryan Hackenbracht.
