Description

This groundbreaking monograph examines Orpheus as a central figure in Milton's self-conception as an agonistic poet, marking one of the first sustained applications of Bakhtinian theory to Milton scholarship. The study explores how Orpheus functions as a heroic mask and persona throughout Milton's work, from prose to poetry, whilst engaging with classical sources including Statius and Virgilian influence. By tracing the mythological hero across Milton's oeuvre, the author demonstrates how the poet-hero archetype shapes Milton's understanding of authorship, answerability, and literary authority. This scholarly work provides essential insights into Milton's creative identity and his dialogue with classical tradition, offering readers a fresh theoretical framework for understanding one of English literature's greatest poets.
