Review
"This is a fascinating, carefully argued book, taking Milton's 'monism' in a different direction, and it will need to be engaged by those who write on or teach Milton." Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
"The high quality and diverse disciplines represented in the volume will appeal to scholars in many fields as well as stimlating new readings by Miltonists. The work adds a necessary contribution to the complex field of seveteenth-century eschatology." Renaissance Quarterly, Margaret J. Arnold
Book Description
In Milton and the Ends of Time, a team of leading international scholars addresses Milton's treatment of millennial and apocalyptic ideas, topics of major importance in the religious and philosophical thought of his day. The subject has wide-ranging ramifications for the interpretation of Milton's poetry and prose, as his speculations on the ends of time played a vital part in shaping the Miltonic quest and vision. This collection provides a broad range of approaches to Milton, including Milton and the visual arts, Milton's politics and theology, and Milton and science.
