| Summary: | "By allusion called" : diachronic and synchronic intertextuality -- "Dire example" : the war in Heaven as admonitory exemplum -- "A fabric wonderful" : the marvelous and verisimilar in Milton's Christian epic -- "From the first" : conceptions of origins and their consequences -- "Above th'Aonian mount" : the Longinian sublime in Paradise lost -- "Instruct me" : institutional considerations in Milton's evolving literary ambitions "Explores the various ways in which Homer's epic poems influenced Milton in his own ambition to compose an enduring, canonical work of literature. Machacek's study of this major interpoetic relationship is methodologically responsive to the historicist critical enterprise dominant within literary study for the past three decades"--Provided by publisher |
