About the Authors
  • 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. With wide-ranging ramifications for the interpretation of Milton's poetry and prose, 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 studying Milton, including the visual arts, politics and theology, and science.

    • Examines the fundamental topic of Milton's conception of time
    • Offers perspectives on Milton's writing and his political and religious thought
    • Written by an international team of specialists

    Reviews & endorsements

    "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
