Opis

Noteworthy for its historical detail and intellectual incisiveness, this study establishes Milton as a monumental but divided figure--torn between radical and conservative mentalities, between eroticism and hatred of the flesh, and between patriarchal and egalitarian conceptions of Paradisal marriage.

Recenzje

With great erudition and elegance, Turner locates Milton's epic and his divorce tracts amid the premodern debates over the nature of sexuality ... an unusual but ultimately successful hybrid of the history of ideas and the new historicism.
