Reviews
Milton's Complex Words brilliantly demonstrates Hammond's skills as a close reader, supremely attentive to how the varied definitions of his key words ... contributes to the meanings of Paradise Lost. - Peter C. Herman, Modern Philology For Miltonists, it offers a stimulating journey back through Milton's poem, with enough detail and elegant argument to be of interest. For students, it will be a good guide for understanding certain terms in Milton's oeuvre, with helpful suggestions for further study provided in the footnotes to each short chapter ... It may prove a welcome guide to those just entering, or even re-entering, the labyrinth of Paradise Lost. * Esther van Raamsdonk, Modern Language Review *

"Milton's Complex Words prompts us to ask how detailed excavation of the linguistic riches of Paradise Lost can change our understanding of Milton's view of language ... Hammond leaves us to extrapolate our own conclusions from his elucidation of Paradise Lost as a beautifully intricate web of meaning suspended between multiple and varying usages of repeated terms, which bring with them into each individual occurrence the echoes of their other lives. * Hannah Crawforth, Milton Quarterly * For Miltonists, it offers a stimulating journey back through Milton's poem, with enough detail and elegant argument to be of interest.
