Description

Explore a groundbreaking academic study that examines the role of Orpheus in John Milton's identity as an agonistic poet. This monograph serves as a primary resource for scholars of English literature, offering a unique perspective on how Milton shaped his persona through classical myth. By applying Bakhtinian theory, the book analyzes concepts of the author, the hero, and answerability in a way that distinguishes it from previous Miltonic criticism. The text moves beyond standard interpretations to argue for the significant influence of Virgil on Milton's prose and poetry. This study integrates various classical sources, including Statius's Birthday Ode to Lucan, to build a comprehensive look at the poet-hero archetype. Whether you are researching Miltonic studies or literary theory, this work provides a fresh look at the masks and personae Milton used to construct his literary voice. It is an essential addition to any collection focused on poetry, drama, and literary criticism.
