5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally a lucid, logical understanding of Milton's Paradise Lost,
This review is from: The Tyranny of Heaven: Milton's Rejection of God as King (Hardcover)
I've long felt frustrated by continuing literary criticisms of Milton's Paradise Lost which use sophistry and distraction to blindly ignore the core meaning and importance of Milton's work - which is obviously parallel to his unorthodox political and theological writings.
Bryson's excellent and well researched book re-establishes for modern readers what potentially is Milton's original political intention in writing Paradise Lost (which is also the obvious interpretation of the text that unfortunately has been subjugated by literary criticism's attempt to enjoy Milton while 'de-thorning' him as it were, by ignoring his revolutionary agenda and ideology). The Tyranny of Heaven is perhaps a beacon in the modern humanistic effort to reclaim Milton out of orthodox readings which continue to ignore the 'majesty' of Satan. |
