Book excerpt: John Milton (1608-1674) was arguably one of the best-read persons of his epoch. Miltonâ¿¿s commonplace book reveals that in addition to the thoroughly humanistic education that he received at Trinity College Cambridge (1625-1632), he also conducted an extensively broad reading program of his own immediately after concluding his university studies which included forays into nearly every branch of learning in a period that he affectionately referred to as his â¿¿studious retirementâ¿¿ (1632-38). For over 400 years, many literary critics have declared this monumental work, Paradise Lost, to be the greatest poem in the English language. Dr. Stallard contends that a full understanding of the Bible as the poemâ¿¿s primary inter-text is essential to appreciating the poem in its Puritan context. John Miltonâ¿¿s Bible is lavishly annotated with Biblical references that demonstrates that Milton was mining a wide variety of translations including the 1540 Great Bible, the 1560 Geneva Bible, the Bishops Bible of 1568, the Douay-Rheims of 1582, and the revised Authorized Version of 1612. This Biblically annotated edition of Paradise Lost will be useful to all scholars and students of Milton alike. That a lack of familiarity with the Bible should discourage students of English literature from reading the pinnacle achievement of one of the finest poets and minds in the English language is both sad and avoidable. This edition makes Milton more accessible, comprehensible, and enjoyable for everyone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK For ages, writers and philosophers have sought to justify the inherent tragedy of death. Milton, the humanist poet, attempted to clarify the ways of a higher Being to His created subjects by proposing that there is a reason for evil: the transcendence of earthly temptation to an eternal relationship with the Godhead. In the everyday context, an oft-heard complaint, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" has its correspondence with another commonplace, "Everything happens for a reason." With Milton, it boils down to the Paulinian "Fortunate Fall" (felix culpa), where one must lose to discover what winning is all about; otherwise, there would be no contrast and no progress. Indeed, after the apple from the tree of knowledge is shared, the couple embark on a carnal relationship, which hints at Milton's misogynistic view of women as the less brainy and more lustful sex. However, the tree of knowledge intercedes on the couple’s behalf, and mankind’s as well, with its “second root,” (Christ), who “shall absolve them who renounce Their own both righteous and unrighteous deeds, and live in thee transplanted, and from thee Receive new life.” Christ, the son, is willing to undergo humiliation and self-abnegation since no man can generate deeds that will save him, and Christ imputes man with enough merits to gain ultimate salvation.

Her portfolio is available here: http://www.demandstudios.com/ContributorPromotion.mvc/EditPr EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK “Paradise Lost” was composed in unrhymed (blank) “English Heroic Verse,” and its structure is set up in interludes - invocations or proems. These prefatory statements, which give the history of the fall of mankind, appear in Books I, III, VII and IX and discuss the story’s genesis or evolution. The poem was originally conceived as a play, “Adam Unparadised,” and it would have begun with Satan’s soliloquy in Book IV. In these prefatory statements, Milton relates his proposition: to write about military prowess, similar to the theme in Edmund Spenser’s “Faery Queen.” With his involvement in Cromwell’s regime, he redefined heroism through the character of Satan: martial valor and wiliness and, in doing so, debunks these traits. Satan refuses to accept that God is omnipotent since submission to God results in His deification. Satan’s primary argument to the first dwellers in the Garden of Eden is that God is tempting them with the tree of knowledge and its fruit, and by withholding this power, He is duplicitous. This is a striking example of syllogistic reasoning since Satan is the one actually doing the tempting but turns the argument upon itself. The militaristic theme is most notable in Satan’s assembling his fallen angels into hierarchies yet allows them to plead their case regarding how to assail God in a democratic vein in Book II during “the great consult.” Since Satan realizes it’s a losing cause to do battle with God again, he advocates covert, as opposed to overt, war through the corruption of the newly-created beings on earth. The heavenly angels are also spoken of in martial terms, as “th’ Angelic Squadron bright” in Book IV. Milton’s anti-monarchical and anti-prelatical tendencies, from his Cromwell days, appear in Book V when Adam is described in his natural, naked state, upon meeting the angel Raphael, as “without more train Accompani’d than with his own complete Perfections, in himself was all his state.” Milton also exhibits his anti-Stewart sentiments in the angel Abdiel, “than whom none with more zeal ador’d The Deity, and divine commands obeyed,” who was the remnant of one who did not follow the other angels in their rebellion with God.

Book excerpt: "PARADISE LOST" concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men."The first words of Paradise Lost state that the poem's main theme will be "Man's first Disobedience." Milton narrates the story of Adam and Eve's disobedience, explains how and why it happens, and places the story within the larger context of Satan's rebellion and Jesus' resurrection.Adam and Eve did not believe God. The message the bible teaches us is that without faith in God, without believing what He says and that He is fully capable of enforcing His word and delivering on His promises; His word is of no consequence to us, and we can"t have a personal relationship with Him.

Download or read book John Selden written by Jason P. Rosenblatt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of John Selden (1584-1654) was both contemplative and active. Seventeenth-century England's most learned person, he was also one of the few survivors who continued in the Long Parliament of the 1640s his vigorous opposition, begun in the 1620s, to abuses of power, whether by Charles I or, later, by the Presbyterian-controlled Westminster Assembly. His gift for finding analogies among different cultures—Greco-Roman, Christian, Jewish, and Islamic—helped to transform both the poetry and prose of the century's greatest poet, John Milton. Regarding family law, the two might have influenced one another. Milton cites Selden, and Selden owned two of Milton's treatises on divorce, published in 1645, both of them presumably acquired while he was writing Uxor Ebraica (1646). Selden accepted the non-biblically rabbinic, externally imposed, coercive Adamic/Noachide precepts as universal laws of perpetual obligation, rejecting his predecessor Hugo Grotius' view of natural law as the innate result of right reason. He employed rhetorical strategies in De Jure Naturali et Gentium (The Law of Nature and of Nations) to prepare his readers for what might otherwise have shocked them. Although Selden was very active in the Long Parliament, his only surviving debates from that decade were as a lay member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines. The Assembly's scribe left so many gaps that the transcript is sometimes indecipherable. This book fills in the gaps and makes the speeches coherent by finding their contexts in Selden's printed works, both the scholarly, as in the massive De Synedriis, but also in the witty and informal Table Talk.
