Book A Geographical Dictionary of Milton  Classic Reprint

Download or read book A Geographical Dictionary of Milton Classic Reprint written by Allan H. Gilbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Geographical Dictionary of Milton In a monograph originally intended as an introduction to this Dictionary, and now complete in manuscript, I have treated various matters relating to the poet's use of geography, such as the sources of his knowledge of the subject, his theory of its value in education, the function of place-names in his verse, and the cosmography of Paradise Lost. The publication of that work at the present time seems inadvisable; yet I hope without too long delay to publish it in a separate volume. In the Geographical Dictionary now presented, I have given in alphabetic order the place-names in Milton's prose and poetry (except the addresses of the Letters of State and the Biblical quotations in De Doctrina Christiana), and have endeavored so to explain these names, especially those occurring in the verse, as to reveal something of what they meant to the poet himself. To this end, I have drawn the quotations, so far as possible, from books he actually read.1 When this has been impossible, I have quoted from representative books accessible to him.

Book Milton  Paradise Lost

Download or read book Milton Paradise Lost written by Alastair Fowler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the great works of literature, of any time and in any language. Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition it is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture. First published in 1968, with John Carey's Complete Shorter Poems, Alastair Fowler's Paradise Lost is widely acknowledged to be the most authoritative edition of this compelling work. An unprecedented amount of detailed annotation accompanies the full text of the first (1667) edition, providing a wealth of contextual information to enrich and enhance the reader's experience. Notes on composition and context are combined with a clear explication of the multitude allusions Milton called to the poem's aid. The notes also summarise and illuminate the vast body of critical attention the poem has attracted, synthesizing the ancient and the modern to provide a comprehensive account both of the poem's development and its reception. Meanwhile, Alastair Fowler's invigorating introduction surveys the whole poem and looks in detail at such matters as Milton's theology, metrical structure and, most valuably, his complex and imaginary astronomy. The result is an enduring landmark in the field of Milton scholarship and an invaluable guide for readers of all levels.

Book The Chinese Impact upon English Renaissance Literature

Download or read book The Chinese Impact upon English Renaissance Literature written by Mingjun Lu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese Impact upon English Renaissance Literature examines how English writers responded to the cultural shock caused by the first substantial encounter between China and Western Europe. Author Mingjun Lu explores how Donne and Milton came to be aware of England’s participation in ’the race for the Far East’ launched by Spain and Portugal, and how this new global awareness shaped their conceptions of cultural pluralism. Drawing on globalization theory, a framework that proves useful to help us rethink the literary world of Renaissance England in terms of global maritime networks, Lu proposes the concept of ’liberal cosmopolitanism’ to study early modern English engagement with the other. The advanced culture of the Chinese, Lu argues, inculcated in Donne and Milton a respect for difference and a cosmopolitan curiosity that ultimately led both authors to reflect in profound and previously unexamined ways upon their Eurocentric and monotheistic assumptions. The liberal cosmopolitan model not only opens Renaissance literary texts to globalization theory but also initiates a new way of thinking about the early modern encounter with the other beyond the conventional colonial/postcolonial, nationalist, and Orientalist frameworks. By pushing East-West contact back to the period in 1570s-1670s, Lu’s work uncovers some hitherto unrecognized Chinese elements in Western culture and their shaping influence upon English literary imagination.
